Do you have a deep desire to help all your clients get evidence based care, but wish you could build bridges with others who aren’t as open to your client’s birth plans? The Savvy Birth Pro Workshop was developed by Evidence Based Birth® to give you the skills you need to make a genuine difference and help your clients have the best possible chance at evidence based care during labour and birth, no matter where they have their baby.
The Evidence Based Birth® Savvy Birth Pro Workshop was developed for L&D nurses, doulas, birth workers, allied health professionals, & anyone who works with expecting and birthing families!
After attending the 3-hour workshop, you will walk away with confidence in your ability to help your clients assert their right to evidence based care in a respectful way that builds bridges, not walls. We believe that the inspirational knowledge you will gain from the Savvy Birth Pro Workshop will have a positive ripple effect that extends to your clients, the people you work with, and your community! You’re no longer alone in your goal of helping more families receive respectful, high-quality maternity care. The Savvy Birth Pro Workshop does more than provide great skills; it creates a strong community of connected professionals who together share this important mission.
“We envision a world in which all birthing families have access to safe, respectful, evidence-based, and empowering care. We support and uplift birth workers who are feeling alone, traumatized, and helpless, and help them find community, hope, and the strength to use their voice.
Our mission is to help birth workers build the evidence based knowledge, skills, and power they need to protect families’ abilities to give birth with empowerment. The work we do goes on to impact families who are searching for accurate information to empower their prenatal, birth, and postpartum experiences!
We admire and look up to birth workers who are building their skill sets so that they can get positive results with their clients, all while by being part of a bigger movement of change makers. You are showing up for birthing families amid difficult circumstances, and we appreciate you!”
