Breastwork™️ for Doulas isn’t just another professional development course. It’s a space to deepen your knowledge, strengthen your hands-on skills, and understand the “why” behind the latch. Through storytelling, movement, peer learning, and live demonstrations, you’ll walk away with more than just theory — you’ll leave ready to support your clients with skill, clarity, and compassion.
