BIRTH PROS
Flourish with your clients
Rhona offers dynamic workshops and keynotes to birth professionals, and the national as well as local organizations to which they belong, e.g., DONA, CAPPA, NACEF, CDA, DASC, AOD. Inspired by a conversation Rhona had with a seasoned doula a dozen years ago, in which the doula described some of the challenges faced by perinatal professionals, especially in the postpartum period, that are outside the scope of their training–for example, trying to support clients who are distraught about heightened relationship conflict–Rhona wanted to provide birth professionals with helpful resources and tools.
As birth professionals, you are on the frontlines of perinatal challenges, often serving as expecting and new parents’ first line of defense for concerns and help pertaining to the new struggles that they face. Rhona provides support and increases your skills in three primary areas:
Research and tools to help you better understand, assess, and assist with increased conflict and relationship challenges faced by new parents, whether they’re welcoming their first child or subsequent kids.
Assistance in better managing and reducing your own high levels of stress, while also providing your clients with easy-to-use and effective skills to more capably navigate their stress.
Enhancements to your birth professional toolkit with access to Life Coaching skills designed to help you strengthen your expertise around communication, create and maintain appropriate professional boundaries, and refine your vision for business growth.
