Brunswick Heads, nr Byron Bay, Northern NSW

Sacred Beginnings Post-natal Doula training will develop your doula skills to support Matrescence and the 4th trimester, with an holistic approach to caring for the mother-baby and family during the precious time of growth and transformation following birth.

TOPICS COVERED IN THE WORKSHOP INCLUDE –

Doula Support – during the early days/weeks of parenting. How the Oxytocin hormone supports the post-partum phase of early mothering and may effect your role as a doula.
Post-natal Depletion – Dr Oscar Serrallach has coined the term ‘post-natal depletion’ and considers this may last “up to a decade” following childbirth. We will share insights for recognising and supporting the mother through post-natal challenges and returning to wellness. Dr Serrrallach’s new book The Post-natal Depletion Cure is now available and is on the Recommended Reading List for this training.
Healing Birth Trauma – between 25% and 34% of women report that their births were traumatic. We will share tools for holding space for de-briefing, including the Birth Labyrinth, to support healing of the birth experience, without influencing the mother’s own experience and growth.
Mother Honouring Rituals – many traditions use ritual to acknowledge the powerful transition into motherhood and to ‘anchor’ the mother back into her body, energise and nurture her after childbirth. This soothing and powerful ceremony symbolically closes the many pathways that were opened during the birth of her baby, creating space and freedom to embrace the new role of motherhood more fully.
