You’ll discover:
What we mean by your unique medicine
How your story, gifts, values, and lived experience shape the way you serve
The difference between copying what works for someone else and building a practice that actually feels like you
How to recognize the threads that have been quietly pointing toward your work all along
Why your medicine matters not only to your clients, but to the sustainability of your birthwork
Who This Is For
Aspiring doulas who want a clearer picture of what this work actually requires
Practicing doulas who want to deepen their skills and feel more prepared in complex situations
Birth workers interested in trauma-informed and somatic approaches to care
Whether you’re new to this work or have years of experience, this session will give you a different lens for thinking about what you’re bringing to the birth space.
A complimentary live session with Joni Edelman & Ivy Joeva
Led by Joni Edelman & Ivy Joeva
Two veteran birth workers bringing decades of combined experience across hospital birth, home birth, nursing, doula care, somatics, trauma-informed practice, education, and mentorship.
There are thousands of doulas who know how to support labor. But there is only one you.
Your lived experience.
Your gifts.
The way you see birth.
The way you hold a room.
The things you’ve survived, studied, questioned, reclaimed, and remembered.
That is your medicine.
And discovering is one of the most important things you will do as a birthworker.
In this free webinar, we’ll explore how to move beyond simply asking:
“What kind of doula should I be?”
and begin asking:
“What is mine to bring to this work?”
