For childbirth educators, doulas, midwives or anyone who would like to improve her ability to support laboring women with excellence.

At our workshops learning is interactive hands-on, fun and interesting. All Charis workshops are taught from a Christian perspective giving God the glory for His marvelous creation and how He so wonderfully created women to bear children.

You will spend the day making new friends and becoming more skilled in knowing how and when to use many techniques to bring a woman comfort during each phase of labor understanding the science behind why the comfort measures work creating an environment conducive to the natural progression of labor recognizing when a woman is beginning to panic and helping her regain control, gently encouraging a woman to effectively push out her baby while taking advantage of the natural physiology of second stage assisting a woman in breastfeeding for the very first time and so much more.

In addition to the valuable skills acquired at the workshop you will also take home with you a beautiful “labor support bag” filled with an assortment of tools to help you successfully support serve and bring comfort to your future clients as they labor.
A delicious lunch will be provided for all the workshop attendees to enjoy as you get to know each other better during a midday break.

The cost is $200 for Charis members and $230 for non-members (includes one-year
Charis membership).
