Transforming through Childbirth Education: Insights with Doula Gurleen

Hey everyone! We actually have three of these special episodes in our show’s lineup! Education is so key for parents but equally as needed for new doulas. As doulas take childbirth education from different instructors, learning different methods – they’re ability to meet more needs with the families they serve is undeniable. Every family has such different perspectives and there’s not one perfect course for everyone. Understanding what is available in a doula’s own location as well as what is available online, is critical for being able to recommend education matches for parents. This show is great for new parents to hear as well as new doulas. 

In this episode, we welcome Gurleen, a newer doula who recently completed our five-week Hypnobirthing series. Gurleen shares her takeaways from each class, like demystifying birth myths, the importance of connection and touch, and embracing natural body instincts during labor. We also explored fears around childbirth and highlighted the benefits of practices like chiropractic care, pelvic floor therapy, and acupuncture. Gurleen’s journey through these classes has been eye-opening for me as an educator, and it’s been great to hear her reflections. Don’t miss this chat if you’re looking to deepen your childbirth education and support toolkit. Enjoy!

Being solo in the birth room doesn’t have to be daunting. You have all you need inside. (19.99)
