We're heading into postpartum training!

Join our final training for the spring. A postpartum doula supports new families after birth through practical help, emotional support, and guidance on newborn care — filling the gap when formal medical support ends. Research links their involvement to greater parental confidence, higher breastfeeding rates, and lower rates of postpartum mood disorders, making them a vital resource during an overwhelming transition.

What will you learn during training?

❤️Role & Scope of Practice — Professional boundaries, ethics, and NBDA standards for postpartum doula work.
❤️The Postpartum Period — Physical recovery, emotional changes, family transitions, and recognizing concerning patterns.
❤️Hands-On Support — Practical newborn care, feeding support, household assistance, and emotional care for parents.
❤️Advocacy & Communication — Supporting client autonomy and navigating postpartum healthcare systems.
❤️Culturally-Rooted Care — Centering Black and BIPOC experiences and providing trauma-responsive fourth trimester support.
❤️Building a Business — Pricing, packages, contracts, scheduling, documentation, and community referrals.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Training information:
April 17-19
8:30am - 4:00pm
Des Moines, IA

Add Boone to your birth location options. I got a brief opportunity to connect with nurses and they are doing big things for birth and VBACs.

We hit 1800K!

I'm just grateful for folks rockin' with me through Facebook. I appreciate every share, engagement, and private message.

We are gearing up for our last training for the season - Birth and Postpartum. Get ready for Knwslf Art More Bounce classes starting back in April. Our LAST Zen Saturday is April 4th, so get in where you fit in! Check out my upcoming April 25th Masterclass with National Black Doulas Association - www.blackdoulas.org/event

Lastly, I'm planning, planning, planning for FY27. A lot of life is happening (all good), so I'm adjusting my focus and capacity. Asking myself the hard question -- what should I do with this season of life? My hope for you is that you find time to celebrate life, reflect, and fill yourself with intention. Speak good over yourself and those you love.

We are preparing for our final birth doula training for the spring. I'd say my favorite topic is about preparing for labor and delivery.

Here are 3 ways to get your body ready for birth:
1. Pelvic Tilts & Hip Circles
Grab a birth ball and get moving! Rocking and rotating your hips loosens those joints, eases back pain, and helps baby find the perfect position. Yes, please!

2. Walking
Never underestimate a good walk! Gravity is doing SO much work helping baby descend and getting your body ready for the big day. Bonus: great for your mental health, too.

3. Squatting
Did you know squatting can open your pelvis up to 30% wider?! Building this practice now means more strength and space when it matters most.

Your body was made for this. Move with intention, trust the process, and always check in with your provider before trying anything new.

Save this for later and share with a mama-to-be who needs it!

Thank you all for your interest in our doula training scholarship. We’ve sent communication as of this afternoon.

For those that have received a congratulations email, next steps are outlined for you. Those we are unable to move forward with, your passion for this work does not go unnoticed. Thank you for your time submitting your application.

Things to Consider:
1. Complete ALL sections of the application
