Keeping Birth: Consent for Birth Workshop

✨KEEPING BIRTH: Consent for Birth✨

Birthworkers, we ride at dawn.

This workshop is for anyone attending to birth in a professional or personal capacity.

Throughout my 13 years of birthwork as a doula, somatic practitioner, herbalist, and bodyworker, I have heard countless stories of women and parents who felt traumatised and unheard when engaging with the medical system. I have heard from doulas who felt helpless knowing something wasn’t right but unable to speak up when needed. I have also heard from midwives who deeply care for their service users and want to rebuild trust with the people they’re in service to!

The time is now.

By the end of this 3 hr workshop you’ll have a starting point to:

* understand, embody, and seek affirmative consent.
*identify where consent has broken down and how we may begin to mend it.
*build more trusting and collaborative relationships with your doula, midwives, partners, family… and even your kiddos!
*negotiate consent and navigate power-over ANd power-with dynamics in real-time.
*lean into a welcoming, knowledgable, and supportive community.
*provide education and exercises to your clients long before problems even arise.
*practice in an embodied and somatic way.

This workshop is waaaaay more fun than the title suggests, ha!
Come play, explore and learn!

3HR in person workshop and digital workbook with exercises and introspection await!
