Charis “Labor Support” Workshop
Saturday, September 03, 2016
9 a.m. – 6 p.m.
At Charis Childbirth
in
North Port, Florida
For
childbirth educators, doulas, midwives, or anyone who would like to improve her
ability to support laboring women.
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 putting
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 $250 for Charis members and $280 for non-members (includes one-year
Charis membership).

Our Director's Heart
Deborah Fuentes, LM, CPM
I left town when a momma was in early
labor….
It’s true! Recently, a client was in early labor and I went out of town. I’ve
never done something like that before! But, don’t worry, she didn’t birth alone!
She had a perfectly beautiful VBAC at home, well supported by my partner
midwife. I have a PARTNER MIDWIFE!!! Deborah Fuentes has joined my midwifery
practice and I am OVERJOYED!!! Finding the perfect partner can be like finding a
needle in a haystack. I waited and prayed for a very long time, confident that,
at just the right time, another midwife with the same heart and commitment to
excellence would come along and join me in my work. So, while Deborah cared for
the sweet momma as she labored and birthed her baby boy in Florida, I was in
Mississippi having a face-to-face prenatal visit with my daughter Joy.
My hope and prayer for all the Charis doulas and midwives is for all of you to
find the perfect partners so you are able to be present for all the important
family events and still serve your clients with excellence.
Blessings,
Kristin Schuchmann, LM, CPM
