Sacred Beginnings Postnatal Doula training will develop your doula skills to support Matrescence and the 4th trimester, with an holistic approach to caring for the mother-baby and family during the precious time of growth and transformation following birth.
TOPICS COVERED IN THE WORKSHOP INCLUDE –
Doula Support – during the early days/weeks of parenting. How the Oxytocin hormone supports the postpartum phase of early mothering and how your role as a doula can support a loving transition into parenthood.
Post-natal Depletion – Dr Oscar Serrallach has coined the term ‘post-natal depletion’ and considers this may last “up to a decade” following childbirth. We will share insights for recognising and supporting the mother through post-natal challenges and returning to wellness. Dr Serrallach’s book The Post-natal Depletion Cure is on the Recommended Reading List for this training.
Healing Birth Trauma – between 25% and 34% of women report that their births were traumatic. We will share tools for holding space for de-briefing, including the Birth Labyrinth, to support healing of the birth experience, without influencing the mother’s own experience and growth.
Mother Honouring Rituals – many traditions use ritual to acknowledge the powerful transition into motherhood and to ‘anchor’ the mother back into her body, energise and nurture her after childbirth. This soothing and powerful ceremony symbolically closes the many pathways that were opened during the birth of her baby, creating space and freedom to embrace the new role of motherhood more fully.
There are no doula pre-requisites to join this educational and experiential training. If you have already participated in the Sacred Birth Doula Training this workshop will give you new tools and ways to develop your birthing business. You may choose to register for the Postnatal Doula Training as a ‘stand alone’ training, or before completing Birth Doula Training.
