Doulas step into the most intense, vulnerable thresholds of life to hold a hand, wipe a tear and honor all that is meaningful. Deepen your understanding of doula essentials of care, and feel invited to move from sympathy or empathy toward compassion to avoid energy depletion. Learn useful, practical approaches and techniques that will enable you to support people more confidently through times of intensity, including birth, death and grief. During this 6-hour interactive workshop, we will cover: Tenets of Doula Support; Components of Compassion; Liminal Space; Being “Enough”; The “Ins” of Holding Space; Personalizing with Plans; and Tools of the Trade.
