April 23 - 29 Carrie Kenner & Erin Quies
Sacred Doula Training

Throughout history, women have supported other women during birth. The modern version of this age-old tradition is the ‘doula’—a knowledgeable companion who provides emotional and physical support for pregnant women and families. Whether you plan to work professionally as a doula, want to support a friend in labor, or simply desire to connect with the power, magic and mystery of birth, this workshop is an extraordinary journey exploring the physical, emotional and spiritual aspects of womanhood, pregnancy and birth. Group dialog combines with experiential learning, movement, demonstration, art and ritual to create a revolutionary experience. This workshop meets two requirements toward certification by DONA International. 

Carrie Kenner has been helping people have babies for over 25 years. She owns Big Belly Services in Seattle, providing birth-related education and doula services. Carrie is a DONA-approved Birth Doula Trainer, certified Birthing From Within mentor, and teaches at Seattle Midwifery School and Bastyr University.

Erin Quies, fascinated by birth and the sacred feminine since childhood, facilitates sacred circles, rites of passages and healing through movement. Erin is a massage therapist, yoga teacher, provides birth and postpartum doula services and ceremonies to honor babies, mothers and new families.
