If you feel overwhelmed by clients’ difficult birth experiences you are NOT the only one! Most training does not cover the psychological impact of birth support on a professional. Birth workers are left trying to piece together a solution and wondering: “What do I DO to cope after a bad outcome?!”

Research demonstrates that the leading cause of professional burnout and turnover is due to unresolved professional trauma. Professionals who have the information they need to heal have lower rates of illness, turnover, absenteeism and more.

Wouldn’t it be amazing to feel joy in your career again?
