I traveled ALL the way to Eugene, Oregon from Nashville, Tennessee to take this course with Heathir and I am SO glad that I did. I have to admit, I was worried that I would travel all that way and be disappointed. Heathir made me feel so comfortable and welcome. She explained things in a way that made sense to me and always left the floor open for questions. If I am ever giving birth in the proximity that Heathir could help me I would call her in a heartbeat. Thank you Heathir for helping me start this journey as a Doula off on a great start. I can't wait to learn, grow, and practice this work with the support of the strong, educated, and wonderful BAI community.

Heathir's workshop was educational, inspiring, and therapeutic. She was patient as I asked every question I could possibly think of, and she answered them all! Heathir has years of experience and knowledge that she is happy to share with her students. After reading my student materials, many books, and attending a birth, I thought I knew a lot about being a doula, but I was WRONG!
We covered TONS of information and when it she saw that I was struggling with the postpartum depression part of the training, she offered me a sincere hug and kind words. It's not everyday you find someone so genuinely kind and caring. It's evident that Heathir's work comes from the heart.

Compassionate Education

Recogning that everyone holds their own stories of triumph and trauma. I am open to listen and facilitate a positive learning experience for you.

Lots Of Moving

The truth is that to get a baby out, the best way is to MOVE!! You will learn lots of labor positions. I share techniques to encourage babies into the best position for birth.

Flow

Each training is as unique the students who attend. While the core content is enhanced by your questions and group discussion.

Hard Things

I do not dance around topics like working with survivors of abuse, the effects that systemic racism has on birth, maternal and infant mortality, or postpartum mood spectrum.

Fun

I love it when you are learning, but it's even better when you are laughing too. We talk about some difficult topics and it is important to balance that with some laughter, fun, and creativity.

Business

You don’t just wave a magic wand and suddenly have clients. I cover some important first steps to getting started.
