TMaH is the newest CMS model designed to focus exclusively on improving maternal health care for people enrolled in Medicaid and Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP). The model will support participating state Medicaid agencies (SMAs) in the development of a whole-person approach to pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum care that addresses the physical, mental health, and social needs experienced during pregnancy. The goal of the model is to reduce disparities in access and treatment. The model aims to improve outcomes and experiences for mothers and their newborns, while also reducing overall program expenditures.

The model is projected to run for 10 years.

On December 15, 2023, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) announced the new Transforming Maternal Health (TMaH) Model. CMS released a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for state Medicaid agencies on June 26, 2024. Applications are due September 20, 2024.

Today, the wonderful Kate White is hanging out with us to help me unpack my birth trauma and to also help you gain insight into how labor and delivery impacts the birthing parent’s nervous system. Kate is an award-winning educator and an advanced bodyworker. She is trained in somatic therapies, prenatal and perinatal somatic health, lactation, brain development, infant mental health, and she has specialized in parent-baby dyad care using somatic prevention and trauma healing approaches for 25 years.

She's also a mother of two children, holds a BA and MA in Communication, is a Registered Craniosacral Therapist in the Biodynamic Craniosacral method, and is a Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner. Her work combines somatic trauma healing, energetic therapies, bodywork, pediatric therapies, and education about the nervous system to help give families with babies and small children the best possible start.

In today’s episode, we talk about…

My birth trauma and how it led to nervous system dysregulation postpartum
Why it’s important to educate providers, midwives, and doulas about the freeze state
Why Kate likes to unpack early life traumas when helping you with your birth trauma
How the birth parent’s autonomic response is impacted based on how they're treated during the birthing process
How the vulnerability of labor and delivery tends to lead to pleasing and appeasing
Why we need to normalize nervous system responses during the birthing process
How your baby has a story to tell too
How our need to do things by ourselves is a survival strategy that we relied on as a child
Why new parents need more support postpartum
The impact social media can have on your nervous system
How Kate helps me disrupt locked-up nervous system energy
…and so much more!
