I had an amazing experience in Heidi's workshop. I initially believed that peanut balls were only for women in the hospital setting who desired epidurals, but now I know that there are endless possibilities with the peanut ball during the prenatal period, throughout all stages of labor and even throughout the postpartum period. Heidi provides excellent information regarding station and position as it relates to the baby and the pelvis. I am grateful I have gotten the opportunity to take this training and I can not wait to incorporate it into my birth work. Thanks again Heidi!

I was so excited to finally attend the Peanut Ball Workshop! I had signed up before and then the Pandemic happened, so I was not able to attend. The training, that I received, was way more extensive and detailed than I imagined. I was thinking " how can we learn so much about a peanut ball to need 6 hours?!" Boy was I wrong! We needed all of that time and maybe could have used even more. Heidi is very skilled and brought so much knowledge that I left fully equipped and eager to put my training to use immediately!!

I recently attended Heidi's peanut ball workshop in Nashville, and I must say, my initial skepticism was quickly replaced with genuine enthusiasm. Being quite familiar with various peanut ball positions and pelvic biomechanics, I questioned how much more I could gain from the workshop. However, from the moment I stepped in, it became evident that this was a worthwhile investment.

Not only did I acquire new insights into the versatile uses of the peanut ball, but the real gem was being in the presence of Heidi and soaking in her wealth of birth wisdom. Learning from someone with her depth of experience was truly priceless. Even if you think you know it all, Heidi's workshop proves there's always more to glean and discover. Highly recommended!

The training that I received from Heidi was fantastic! She is thorough and excited about the training topics that she offers. I found it especially refreshing that the training was well rounded with professionals who act in various capacities serving birthing families. You can tell that her passion is to not only improve birth but to improve educational offerings available to professionals. Her kind soul and upbeat personality makes any training that she offers a pleasure to attend.

As an Evidence Based Birth (EBB) certified trainer and Peanut Ball trainer, Heidi Duncan has been sharing, not only her personal knowledge and experience as a birth worker with expecting families, but also extending that knowledge and information to others in the birth world. She is a skilled communicator and strives to ensure those of us in her trainings understand the material and concepts and will be able to use the new information and skills in our own work. Heidi also has the natural ability to make trainings interesting and engaging. If you want to learn more about evidece-based maternity care and/or the use of Peanut Balls during labor and birth, you can't do better than working with Heidi.

I took Heidi's peanut ball training in 2018.  She has years of experience, not only supporting families as a doula and childbirth educator but also encouraging and teaching fellow birth workers.  Not only would I highly suggest Heidi to expecting couples wanting to hire a doula but I would hope fellow doula collegues take her workshops.  I use the techniques I learned at her workshop with my clients- often!

Heidi has been a wonderful Peanut Ball Trainer in my area.  She is encouraging and shares out of her abundance of knowledge and experience.  I am also fortunate enough to call her a friend.
