Topic: Our role in birth work: supporter, not rescuer.
 
The seasoned birth-worker understands that true power in the room lies not in rescuing, but in supporting. Together let’s examines the subtle pull toward savior dynamics and the deeper discipline of restraint. What does it mean to witness without taking over? To advocate without dominating? To support without rescuing? We will refine our role as steady, sovereign supporters at the threshold.
 
Date: Wed April 29th from 10am-11am
 
Topic: Sexuality after baby
 
After birth, the body is no longer theoretical - it is stretched, healing, lactating, exhausted, and reorganizing. Desire may shift. Touch may feel different. Identity may feel unfamiliar. This session invites us to approach postpartum sexuality without myth, shame, or minimization. Together we will examine how to support honest conversations about intimacy while remaining grounded in our role as educators and steady witnesses.
 
Date: Wed May 27th from 10am-11am
 
Topic: Birth as a rite of passage
 
Birth is not only the arrival of a baby; it is the crossing of a threshold. In this session, we explore birth as initiation: a dismantling and reorganization of identity, body, partnership, and power. Together, we will reflect on the doula’s role as witness to transformation - holding space for rupture, ambiguity, and emergence - without turning birth into a myth or minimizing its complexity.
 
Date TBD
 
Topic: Postpartum mental health
 
This session examines postpartum mental health through a clinical and relational lens. We will differentiate between normative emotional adjustment, trauma responses, and perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs). Together, we will refine our ability to recognize subtle red flags, respond without over-functioning, and make appropriate referrals while maintaining scope of practice and professional boundaries.
