Beyond what to expect: childbirth education that gets to the heart of what you need to know, process, and explore as you step through the sacred threshold of birth and motherhood.
​​Is this the right birth course for us?
If you’re weighing whether independent, embodied childbirth preparation is for you, please consider the following:
​
-
Do you want to have a sovereign birth experience?
-
Do you understand that even though some medical providers are nice people, that they aren’t always the right fit for sovereign, patient-centered, autonomous birth?
-
Are you ready to transform (body, mind, psyche/spirit) through and from your birth experience and traverse it with reverence and respect for the process?
-
Do you want the tools and information needed to positively navigate birthing inside of a system that often disregards the sovereignty and rights of birthing families?
-
Do you want to know yourself, your body, your strength, your baby, and your partner more deeply through the experience of birth?
-
Do you resonate with a spiritual approach and framework for birth and other life changing human experiences?
If you answer YES to at least one of these questions, then this class is for you!
Somatics for Doulas is a four hour advanced skills course for either birth or postpartum doulas. In this course, doulas will learn the basics of polyvagal theory and nervous system regulation, and how that applies to pregnancy, birth, motherhood, and infancy. With a somatic lens on these experiences, doulas will learn strategies, skills, and exercises to begin using with clients right away. Additionally, we will weave the science of somatics with spiritual approaches to doula care, helping our clients dive deeply into who they are as people, so they can navigate their experiences with authenticity and sovereignty.

Self-guided course TBD.
