Phyllis Klaus - the original researcher into the doula effect

 
Picture
I had such a lovely time chatting with Phyllis about how wonderful it is to be able to support and guide women during pregnancy, birth and the postnatal period.  She was telling me about her latest research, which is published in the third edition of "The doula book".  Phyllis is the most gentle and caring of women and she is an inspiration!

I just feel so lucky to have met her and spent some time with her!

When Survivors Give Birth Educators workshop - San Diego

 
Picture
I arrived back home yesterday after spending just under a week in sunny San Diego in California at the Simkin Center at Bastyr University.  It was an incredible 3 1/2 days with Penny Simkin and Phyllis Klaus plus a group of eight wonderful women, all dedicated to making a difference in the world.  

I'm feeling so blessed to have spent time with two of the founding members of DONA (Doulas Of North America) as well as being the pioneers in supporting women who have experienced previous trauma in their lives.

I have some post-course work to do and will then be able to offer a one-day workshop for doulas and others who are interested in learning how to work with and support women who are survivors of abuse and previous trauma.

My memories of my time in San Diego will stay with me forever and I hope to return one day!
