Birth education with parents is often fun, and joyful for everyone involved. But it's also important to talk to parents about the hard stuff. The unexpected surprises they aren't planning, or hoping for, the things they are avoiding and would rather cast aside in the " I don't need to learn about that" list. I've come to realize that holding space for these conversations and encouraging parents to imagine how they might move through the event if it did actually happen is an act of compassion. I can't count how many times the home birth planning parents came back to me and said how glad they were that we talked about hospital transfer, or the folks who were whole heartedly committed to not using pain medication let me know that they were able to have more ease and grace with themselves around changing their mind in labor because we included the compassionate use of drugs and epidurals in the class topics. Preparing parents for a variety of possible outcomes and coping strategies helps them to tap into their inner strengths and knowing so they can do whatever they need to do to move through it.

The term Wayfinding refers to all of the ways people orient themselves and navigate from place to place. What is your north star? 🌠 How do you determine the steps needed to get to your destination? 👣How do you know you've arrived? 🔑

🌀Whether you're a new parent, or a birth worker, mentorship can help you find new direction and overcome challenges through solution focused approaches.

✨Shifting from gathering to hunting...✨

Fact-gathering isn’t bad or wrong per se — but by itself, it doesn’t provide adequate preparation for facing the unknowns of birth.

🌀Skillfully guiding parents through creating and tracing a labyrinth gives them an opportunity to feel the uncertainty and disorientation of the internal experience of birth, as well as the determination required to move through that experience.

🧠By physically tracing the labyrinth, parents create a deep-seated memory of how to keep going when encountering the unknown.

🕯️This course is for anyone who works preparing people for birth or postpartum.
