Charis “Teaching Birth”
Workshop
Tuesday, February 18, 2014
9 a.m. – 6 p.m.
At
LifeSong Midwifery
in
North
Port, Florida
For
childbirth educators, doulas, midwives, or anyone who would like to improve
their ability to communicate with and educate expectant families.
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 preparing
effective introductions, asking powerful questions, creating a learner-friendly
environment, capturing the attention of learners, helping clients embrace their
responsibility of making informed decisions, and so much more.
In addition to the valuable skills acquired at the workshop, you will also take
home with you an assortment of visual aids and other valuable teaching tools to
enhance your future students’ learning experience.
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.

Our Director's Heart
Lactation
Counselor Certification News!
The Charis website does not yet contain all the information about this, but
we wanted our newsletter subscribers to be the first to know! We are very
excited to announce the official launch of the Charis Certified Lactation
Counselor training on January 1, 2014!
The Charis course for lactation counselors lives up to the high standards
that are expected from Charis and that are so desperately needed by new moms
as they seek accurate, reliable advice and help as they feed their babies.
The Charis certified lactation counselors will be equipped well to provide
support and encouragement to nursing mothers, to help them accurately
troubleshoot and handle any breastfeeding challenges that might arise, and
to play an important role in increasing long-term breastfeeding success in
their communities.
If you would like more information about becoming a Charis Certified
Lactation Counselor, send an e-mail to me at Kristin@CharisChildbirth.org
requesting a telephone appointment.
Blessings,
Kristin Schuchmann, CPM, LM
Executive Director, Charis Childbirth, Inc.
