Beyond the Scale is an interactive training designed for birth workers, healthcare professionals, and anyone who supports pregnant people. Together, we'll explore how weight stigma shows up in pregnancy and birth, examine the research behind common assumptions about body size and health, and learn practical strategies for providing truly size-inclusive care. This workshop goes beyond identifying bias. You'll leave with concrete tools you can immediately apply in your practice—from creating more welcoming environments and using inclusive language to supporting informed decision-making and advocating for respectful, person-centered care. Whether you're a doula, midwife, nurse, physician, childbirth educator, lactation professional, or student, you'll leave with greater confidence, deeper understanding, and actionable strategies to better support fat clients and patients.
