SUMMARY:LIVE VIRTUAL BIRTH BOOSTER - SEPT 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. \nBirth Doula Booster September 19\, 2026 (12pm-3pm 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). \nPostpartum Doula Booster September 19\, 2026 (9am-11am 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\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 School Canada students who have purchased a self-directed course.

SUMMARY:WEBINAR: Intro to Mindfulness & Meditation for Doulas. August 5\, 12\, 26\, and Sept 2\, 2026.
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1698083224653{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]\nIntro to Mindfulness & Meditation for Doulas is a four-class series designed to help birth workers build sustainable inner resources. Through accessible practices and doula-specific guidance\, you’ll develop the presence\, resilience\, and self-awareness needed to support your clients and yourself with greater depth and ease. \nClass 1: What Is Mindfulness? — Anchoring in the Breath \nDiscover what mindfulness really is and what it isn’t. In this foundational class\, you’ll learn how present-moment awareness directly supports your work as a doula\, and explore your first anchor practice: the breath. A warm\, beginner-friendly introduction to a practice that will change how you show up. \nClass 2: Mindfulness of the Body \nLearn to listen to your body and help your clients listen to theirs. This class explores body-based mindfulness practices and their powerful applications during pregnancy\, labor\, and birth support. You’ll leave with tools to bring greater physical awareness to yourself\, your pregnant clients\, and their partners. \nClass 3: Self-Care\, Discomfort & Building Your Mini Practice \nBirth work is demanding. This class explores how mindfulness helps you sit with discomfort\, your own and others’\, without being overwhelmed. You’ll also create a simple\, sustainable personal practice that you can maintain even in the busiest seasons of your doula life. \nClass 4: Gratitude\, Generosity & Closing the Circle \nIn this final class\, we turn toward the heart of sustainable birth work: generosity and gratitude. Explore how these qualities deepen your capacity to give\, protect against burnout\, and connect you to the profound meaning in the work you do every day. \nJoin us for live virtual sessions August 5\, 12\, 26\, and Sept 2\, 2026 from 10-11 am EDT.\nRequires attendance to all 4 classes\, tuition is free. No experience needed. Participants will receive a certificate of attendance that can be used as 4 CEUs (continuing education units) at Doula School. \nAbout the presenter: Julia Forest\n \nJulia is a doula\, childbirth educator\, and birth advocate whose work has touched thousands of lives across more than 20 countries. As co-founder and co-Director of Doula School International\, Canada’s largest doula training organization with over 6\,500 graduates worldwide\, she has spent over two decades redefining what exceptional birth support looks and feels like\, both for the families being served and the practitioners doing the serving. Her teaching is trauma-informed\, evidence-based\, and grounded in the belief that a birth worker’s inner life is inseparable from the quality of care they offer. She brings 20 years of practice in birthwork\, massage therapy\, prenatal yoga\, mindfulness and embodied movement practice to everything she teaches. \nClick here to view all of our upcoming Webinars. \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
