You will get certified to teach all 3: Childbirth Preparation (CBE) Breastfeeding Readiness (CLSE) Newborn Care Classes (NCE) utilizing the gold standard of curriculums! Our next cohort will go live on January 27th. Our virtual flow format will have a interactive lessons posted every Monday. You'll have all week to post your assignments. Many clinics, hospitals, birth centers and community-based pregnancy care centers want to provide 3 main classes to their patients (yep, you guessed it! CBE, Newborn Care and Breastfeeding!) and you will be qualified to do all 3. If you have your own practice as a doula, nurse, midwife, OBGYN, or other maternal health provider, you can incorporate these classes into your own business and broaden what you have to offer birthing families. If you simply want to be an educator in a private practice of your own - you can do that too! This is a great place to start! ((Payment Plans Available))

Big Fat Pregnancy provides inclusive care for folks living in larger bodies as they navigate pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. We know that clients are just one piece of the puzzle and they are not responsible for fixing provider bias. Big Fat Pregnancy provides the foundational education around weight stigma, bias, and current research to better understand how fat patients can and should be treated - with respectful, compassionate, size inclusive care. With this dream, we created the Fat Positive Provider Workshop. A three-hour intensive workshop to unpack weight bias, understand what we mean when we say fat positive and learn some basics when supporting fat folks. You’ll walk away with a deeper understanding of weight inclusive care, create community with other birth workers, and a list of tangible action items to implement and improve your care. Take this knowledge and bring to your co-workers, friends, and family so we can normalize size inclusive care in birth!

Many doulas have training that is specifically focused on natural, unmedicated childbirth. This is immensely important, but we hear from doulas all the time who lack skills and confidence if their client chooses an epidural, and it happens sometimes - no matter how much you help them to prepare. Sometimes they are induced, or for another reason end up benefitting from epidural pain relief. Without judgment, we need to recognize the need for specific education on how to support clients with this kind of intervention. Through this unique program, MaternityWise provides additional skills specific to the support needs of epidural pain relief. There are no pre-requisites, but a basic knowledge of birth-related anatomy/physiology and labor support would be helpful. When you've attended the EpiDoula® workshop, you will receive a frame-able Advanced Skills award to compliment all of your other achievements.
