DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1698083224653{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]\nLearning Objectives \n\nAre you a doula\, educator\, or birthworker seeking to understand how systemic racism continues to shape reproductive health today?\nDo you want to unpack the historical control of Black women’s bodies and its connection to modern obstetric violence and inequities?\nWould you like to learn how to advocate for Black birthing people with both cultural sensitivity and systemic awareness?\n\nWorkshop Description\nIn this 90-minute webinar\, Lisa Felecia Westerman\, BSW\, Full Spectrum Doula\, Educator\, and founder of Shades Doula Services\, invites birthworkers into a deeply reflective and educational exploration of how history continues to inform present-day reproductive care. \nDrawing from the foundational work of Dorothy Roberts\, Dána-Ain Davis\, and Loretta Ross\, this session examines the historical and ongoing control of Black women’s bodies from the era of enslavement and forced sterilization to present-day disparities in maternal health outcomes. \n Participants will: \n\nTrace the roots of reproductive injustice through a historical and cultural lens\nIdentify how medical racism continues to manifest in care settings\nLearn strategies for creating culturally safe\, dignity-centered support for Black clients\nExplore advocacy approaches that honour the sacredness of Black life and body sovereignty\nEngage in guided reflection on bias\, embodiment\, and accountability in birthwork\n\nThis is an invitation to witness\, unlearn\, and rebuild together toward collective care and reproductive liberation. \nWho is it for?\nThis webinar is for doulas\, birthworkers\, midwives\, educators\, and students who wish to deepen their understanding of the intersections between race\, history\, and reproductive justice\, and who are committed to providing care that is culturally safe\, anti-oppressive\, and rooted in community advocacy. \nDetails: This virtual webinar takes place on June 16\, 2026 at 12pm EST.\n \nBio\nLisa Felecia Westerman\, BSW\, is a Full Spectrum Doula and Educator based in Vancouver\, BC\, and the founder of Shades Doula Services\, a practice dedicated to culturally safe\, trauma-informed care for Black\, Indigenous\, and racialized families.

SUMMARY:LIVE VIRTUAL POSTPARTUM BOOSTER - JUNE 2026
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1720624491553{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]\nHANDS-ON SKILLS\nHands-on doula skills are such an important part of the work we do. Sometimes as a new doula it may be what we feel most apprehensive about. If you’ve done your coursework all online you may feel like you’re “missing out” on something important. The truth is you’ve been helping people around you your whole life and it will all feel so ‘intuitive’ and ‘normal’ when you are at a birth or postpartum shift. But we want to give you additional skills you can use in your prenatal visits and at births and pp shifts to help you feel even MORE confident. That’s why we call it a live virtual BOOSTER because it’s meant to “boost” your existing skills. \nPostpartum Doula Booster June 20\, 2026 (12-2pm Eastern time)\nOver the 2 hour booster we will cover: \n\nInfant bathing\nInfant soothing\nLactation position support\nBabywearing at a client’s house (wrap review)\nPostpartum scenarios and how to best support a client\n\nBirth Doula Booster June 20\, 2026 (3pm-6pm Eastern time)\nOver the 3 hour booster we will cover: \n\nBreathing techniques\nComfort measures\nDouble hip squeeze\nPushing techniques and positions\nRelaxation activities\nMindfulness practices\nPrenatal visit activities to introduct these concepts to clients BEFORE labour\nScenario reviews (time permitting)\n\nWe ask that you bring a partner to your hands-on skills session. This is important as you really need someone to practice on. This can be any person\, any gender\, any age (as long as they are old enough to give you feedback). \nThings To Have On Hand\nPlease feel free to bring as many of these things as you have available at home. Don’t stress too much if you’re missing a few things. You do NOT need to go out and buy them (though you may want them for your prenatal visits anyhow) \nFor Birth Booster\n\nIce cubes (made but leave in freezer until we tell you to grab them)\nRolling pin/empty wine bottle\, full soda can (anything that can be used for rolling type of massage)\nHand cream or massage oil\nBlanket/towel\nExtra pillows\nExercise ball (if you have one)\nComb\nCandies/mints\nItems from your house that make your environment feel warm and cozy (candles\, music\, etc)\nPlease note: Participation in the Booster Workshops requires a practice partner for the hands-on skills portion. If you do not have a partner available\, we kindly ask that you refrain from registering for this workshop date.\n\nFor Postpartum Booster\n\nDoll to practice on\nInfant swaddle (can be a large muslin cloth type or an actual velcro swaddler)\nFacecloths\nAnything else you’d like explained!\n\nFees\nThis course is FREE to any Doula Canada students who have purchased a self-directed course. Please get the coupon code from our home office. For anyone else who’d like to join us please purchase the course. \nClick here to add the Birth booster\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
