Early Bird discount ends December 22nd. I'm so looking forward to speaking at this conference. I'll be using a rites of passage framework to explore how to support women as they navigate through their experience of birth after a c-section. #doula #doulaconference #birthdoula #childbirtheducation #childbirth #rachelreed #midwifethinking #ritesofpassageWITH WOMAN RETREAT 2019 - What an honour to midwife women through an intense deep dive into themselves, the sisterhood and birth as a rite of passage. I took no photos - this was taken by my lovely daughter :) We are bringing this work to Victoria next year. #midwife #midwifery #doula #birthdoula #studentmidwife #childbirtheducation #childbirth #thisshitworks #shamanicschoolofwomancraft#Repost @schoolofshamanicwomancraft with @get_repost ・・・ Registrations close on the 27th November.
