Training for Professionals
As a doula, I believe in “mothering the mother” and supporting the partner. I strive to enable a woman and their partner to have the most suportive and empowering experience possible during pregnancy, birth and as new parents.
I support you in your preparation for childbirth and parenting with information to help you define your birth wishes. I provide emotional support and practical comfort measures. During birth I may rely on techniques ranging from breathing and relaxation, to positioning tips to support you.
A doula’s role is to nurture you and to protect your wishes.
Online Training for Professionals
This workshop offers a deepdive into the understanding of the nutritional and healing needs of the new mother after she has given birth.
​
Based on the ancient principles of ayurveda you will gain an understanding of the general state of the body after giving birth. This will help us to understand how best to support her recovery and healing.
​
We will look at which foods are best to be avoided and which foods are supportive of the healing journey and of the production of milk to feed your baby.
​
We will have a communal cooking workshop during which we will make a selection of hearty dishes and healthy snacks and drinks to care for the mother.
​
You will go home with a booklet about Nutritional guidelines and recipes for the postpartum mother to use as you continue to integrate these learnings into your work.
​
During the second part of this training you will learn about the needs of the postpartum body, the importance of touch and presence and how to give a full body massage without being a professional masseuse.
​
Sometimes we believe we need to be professional before we are allowed to offer these services. I want to encourage you to trust in your capacity to offer comfort and love to new mothers with your touch at whatever stage you are at in your journey.
​
It is a great thing to dare to touch lovingly with attention and awareness. While in our cultures we often see massage as a luxury, in non-Western cultures it is a basic offering in maternity recovery.
​
You will go home with more confidence in your ability to nurture new mothers physically and emotionally.
