Hello Doulas!

My name is Care Messer and I own the Birth Education Center.  We are FINALLY coming back to doing the other thing we LOVE more than anything – Doula Education! We just finished another series and getting our doula training up and running has been amazing this time. We have revamped it and added 4 more weeks of education! Mentoring is key when getting a solid foundation for your business and getting a firm knowledge of birth and the body. So much has changed since the pandemic and deep connection and intimate community is needed now more than ever.

We want to invite you to our Doula Education Series beginning Sat Apr 6th – with our Welcome Circle! The series will end on June 8th with our closing Doula Circle with one more mentoring meeting on the following day, June 9th. Full list of meeting times listed below.

We are so excited to offer you help and continuous mentoring with Business setup, Self-discovery, and the deeper side and meaning of what you’ll be bringing to the table! Let us show you how we manage pitfalls, the highs and lows and incorporate Birth Education, Mentorship, and like-minded doulas to support you!

How this training helps your families – This series has its main focus on incorporating birth education in helping your families to take ownership of their birth and develop a deep connection with trusting the process. NO matter what type of birth education your families choose – you will have a better understanding of all things birth to expand their knowledge and work to their advantage during their process.

When you are both on the same page with education – you are a positive force to be reckoned with. Parents have a stronger voice in the birth room and your reminders will cue them to iterate on what is most important to them. Creating a team aspect is essential for the baby’s smooth arrival. Advocacy works best when you and your parents are speaking the same language and when needed, you can encourage and bring together conversations with staff and their care providers.  While you will not make decisions for these families, you can feel confident and be an amazing bridge for these educated conversations to happen. 

You can test it out here – Doula Mindset & Ebook Bundle($19.99) – This book and set of doula specific affirmations and meditations mirror what our families learn in our Hypnobirthing series. While working through the Power Centers in our bodies(aka Chakras) we will better be able to support parents with their innate power when it comes to reclaiming their autonomy and having a strong voice in the birth room. We also need those skills and if we have worked on ourselves first – we can model those lessons for them. If you are on the fence about this series – start with this small investment first!

How this series will help you:

• We will work with what baggage you may unknowingly be bringing into birth work and present ideas on how to manage it.
• We will give you role-play practice for parent interactions to improve your confidence.
• We will help you set up a successful business model with good boundaries so you can attract the families you will work best with.
• We will help you define what routines you need to get in place to create community, have solid backups, and how to prepare for the unexpected. 
• We will help you create a social media presence that is manageable and feels the most authentic for you. We take the overwhelm out of it and have a Masterclass and mentoring meetings to get this accomplished!

Our goals are to help you avoid doula burnout and simply create a balanced business that works for you and your family. As an entrepreneur, your foundation needs to be strong and confident. Continuing education and support is the key!
