This is the first step in your Postpartum Doula journey!

Join DONA Approved Postpartum Doula Trainer, Jen Chandlee @ BBC for a weekend of dynamic, interactive learning! Jen has thirty years of hands-on birth and postpartum doula experience, teaching adult learners, and mentoring small business owners & new doulas. You will leave the weekend ready to dive in!

YOU WILL BE CHALLENGED! We look at our innate biases, institutionalized racism within birth/postpartum, cultural humility, trauma-informed communication, social justice issues, and how to handle sticky situations. You will gain the necessary skills to navigate many different postpartum scenarios, some of which are life skills that can be applied far beyond doula work. We create connections that can last a lifetime, while offering individualized support as needed. Each workshop is tailored to meet the primary needs of the group while covering the information you will need in order to provide the best possible support to new families of all shapes and sizes. This is an inclusive training that welcomes all family structures, races/ethnicities, gender identities and expressions, religions, and sexual orientations. Postpartum Doulas are needed in all communities!

TOPICS COVERED INCLUDE: Postpartum Support Basics, The Significance of a Doula, The Business of Being a Doula, Communication Skills and Crossing Cultures, Disparities in Maternal/Parental Healthcare, The Impact of Birth on Postpartum, Educating Clients & Making Referrals, Integrating a Baby into the Family, Sleep, Babywearing and Soothing Techniques, Perinatal Mental Health, Multiples, Loss and Grief, Infant Feeding, the DONA Certification Process, and more.
