April 25 - May 1
Sacred Doula Training
Carrie Kenner & Erin Quies

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 or sister in labor, or simply desire to connect with the power, magic and mystery of the birth process, this workshop is an extraordinary journey exploring the physical, emotional and spiritual aspects of womanhood, pregnancy, birth and family. Lectures will be combined with experiential learning, movement, dialog, art and ritual. This workshop is approved as two steps 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 and Birthing From Within mentor and is on the faculty of Seattle Midwifery School and Bastyr University.

Erin Quies has been fascinated by birth since childhood. She facilitates sacred circles, rites of passages, and healing through movement. Owner of Buddha Baby, Erin provides birth and postpartum doula services as well as ceremonies to honor babies, mothers and new families.
