Pelvic Floor Foundations for Birth Workers

Pelvic Floor Foundations for Birth Workers

Saturday, February 28th from 11 AM- 3 PM 

Join us for an engaging, hands-on workshop designed to deepen your understanding of the pelvic floor and its vital role throughout pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum journey. This session will empower doulas to provide informed, body-aware, and trauma-sensitive support to the families they serve.

Together, we’ll explore:

  • Pelvic floor anatomy and function – understanding structure, strength, and mobility
  • Pregnancy and birth support techniques – practical tools for comfort and balance
  • Postpartum recovery and healing – supporting restoration after birth
  • Exercises and breathing practices – simple, effective ways to promote connection and release
  • Pelvic pain awareness and referral sources – recognizing when to refer and how to advocate
  • Supporting survivors of sexual assault – holding trauma-informed, compassionate space
  • Scope of practice – maintaining professionalism and boundaries as a doula

 

This training blends evidence-based knowledge with embodied learning, offering both information and experiential practice.

Who Should Attend: Doulas, birth workers, childbirth educators, nurses and anyone supporting pregnant or postpartum individuals seeking to expand their skills in pelvic health awareness.

Facilitator: Dr. Kamaria Washington, PT, DPT (she/her)

Registration is required.
