We are planning to offer a series of workshops next Spring......Here are some of the topics we are thinking of offering:

Accupressure
Aromatherpay
Infant Massage
Belly Dancing.....

What other skills would you like to see offered if you were attending a 1-2 day workshop?

Thanks....

I would love to have someone with experience in physical therapy to give some ideas on relieving common pregnancy complaints BEFORE delivery. That would be interesting! Will you offer CEUs?

Physical Therapy is a great idea.....particularily exercises that would help through pregnancy. We have a woman PT locally who is interested in woman's issues....
We do offer CEU's...

That's an awesome idea, if I was in your area, I would SO attend! LOL!

We will probably include a session on breastfeeding, positioning in labor, and several topics on the business/legal aspect of working as a Doula. I would like to do something fun also...I make wonderful soap and thought that might be nice. I give it to clients and use it at home...

Chiropractic care during pregnancy (my sisterin-law huge in natural remedies sufferes from siatica really bad and she gets adjusted 2x a week). I don't think a lot of women that chiropractic care is a possibilty when pregnant. I know if suffered from siatica with both of my pregnancies and it wasn't until she told me about what she does that I even knew I could get help for it. Exercising during pregnany is a big one I think people struggle with. In my experience with family and friends' pregnancies, they feel they can't work out as hard. I never had a problem until I reached my 9th month. I am a big pilates fan and I truly believe it helped with such a fast labor (3 hrs 46 min from first contraction to delivery!!!!)
