Educational Expectations of The Silent Birthkeeper Course
Coming from a Montessori background I feel very aligned with the philosophy of freedom of choice and freedom of movement and this has always fed into how I hold space for birth. For me, it has always been more about creating a safe environment for birth that meets the basic needs of the labouring woman as opposed to dictating, managing, guiding or coaching. A space where the labouring woman can find HER unique way in her mothering journey. I feel similarly about the education of those attending births. I do not feel it is up to me to dictate to you what the right way for you to attend births is but to rather create a space where you can explore and learn at your own pace over a year, in a closed group, meeting regularly to share and discuss. You can expect to immerse yourself in the following over the 12-month journey together: ⁃ What is ‘True Midwifery’? What does it look like? ⁃ A deep look at our collective and personal history as birthkeepers ⁃ Exploring and finding clarity on this path ⁃ Ceremony, dance, tradition, meditation, and song ⁃ Preparing an ideal learning environment for yourself and supporting one another ⁃ Listening skills ⁃ Self Care ⁃ Birth Stories, storytelling, and learning from birth stories ⁃ The Basic Needs of a Woman in Pregnancy, Labour, and Birth ⁃ Basic midwifery skills, terminology, and record-keeping ⁃ Antenatal/Prenatal care ⁃ If you are assisting at birth, what is your role in labour, birth, and postpartum ⁃ Immediate postpartum care of mother and baby ⁃ Introduction to care and assessment of the newborn ⁃ Breastfeeding ⁃ Cultural competency in childbirth and care of women ⁃ Sexual Abuse Triggers in Pregnancy, Childbirth, and Postpartum ⁃ Pregnancy and Birth Complications ⁃ Difficult outcomes, grief, and death ⁃ Homeopathy and herbs ⁃ Connection and support within your birthing community BOOKINGS CLOSE 4 NOVEMBER 2024 For more information see...
