Big Fat Pregnancy

Beyond the Scale: Practical Tools for Weight Inclusive Birth Work

A 4-hour live training to learn more about anti-fat bias, unpack weight stigma, define and put into practice size-inclusive care. To set the foundation for the training, you’ll have access to two short pre-recorded lessons to explore the foundations of what I believe are essential components to size-inclusive care. You’ll walk away with a deeper understanding of weight-inclusive care, create a community with other providers committed to removing anti-fat bias from their practices, and have tangible action items to implement right when you leave the workshop! Take this knowledge and bring it to your co-workers, friends, and family so we can normalize size-inclusive care in childbirth.

2026 Indiana Doula Conference

2026 Indiana Doula Conference

The 2025 Indiana Doula Conference filled critical gaps by providing continuing education, peer support, and visibility for doulas in a state with rising needs but limited infrastructure. It kick-started a movement, elevating the doula profession and better supporting perinatal care in Indiana. This year, we're scaling that impact even further—anticipating over 100 doulas, nearly 50 community organizations, and several key sponsors coming together statewide. Through deeper programming, more collaborative opportunities, and broader stakeholder engagement, this year’s conference will up-level the vital role doulas play in equity-driven maternal health.
