As of TODAY!!!! January 1, 2020 I step into a new role, I have joined the board of Haven Craft, as the Director of Traditional Birth Studies, and I will become an instructor in their Seminary. Havencraft is an inclusive, interfaith, intersectional, and intercultural nonprofit organization providing education, advocacy, counseling, and assistance during domestic crisis’, and is now based in North Carolina.
I am honored to have been asked to join in this capacity. In the weeks and months ahead we will be enrolling students in the online course component to the program, which will be open to all age 16 and up. The new program is geared to teaching traditional birth attendants how to provide inclusive physical, intellectual, and emotional support as they go through the process of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum, as well as providing educational support, bereavement support, and placenta training. Named “Mattie Marie Certification” we will be training traditional birth attendants to support families in all settings and will be conducting hands-on training sessions both at the retreat house/seminary and at other locations nationally/internationally.
More can be found in the days and weeks to come at learntodoula.com – and registration for the Las Vegas workshop will open up as planned on January 15, 2020.
Much love to ALL!
