At just 30 minutes long, this video course is easy to digest but packs BIG impact.  It was created at the request of doulas who asked us to help them describe some of the common realities of maternity care that aren’t so talked about.  It’s essential insider information for savvy parents.

This course is also great for newer doulas looking for language about how to communicate with clients about routine practices and their most basic rights.  (Price: $34)

The first and only course on obstetric violence in the U.S.! Course objectives include: Taking a trauma-aware approach within ourselves; A working definition of obstetric violence and discussion of its various manifestations; What the research says about obstetric violence; Advancing the science on obstetric violence: Obstetric violence as a reproductive rights issue; Principles of advocacy for the birth room; and Trauma informed care as preventative of obstetric violence.

Our signature course is required education for all Evidence Based Birth® Instructors and is now available to you, too!  This popular self-paced video course is the first and only in the U.S. on this topic, covering the basics around birthing people’s rights in the hospital and giving a broader context for those rights–fundamentally changing the way you will view maternity care. Folks who have taken Know Your Rights call it “revolutionary,” “a game changer,” and “the thing that made all the difference in my practice.”

It’s not just so-called cattiness… It’s horizontal violence: aggressive and hostile behavior among members of an oppressed group.  And it’s extremely damaging to the doula profession!  Let’s talk about what it is, how it manifests, and how each of us can address it.
