Register for a Workshop

My school on the Teachable platform makes available on-line, prerecorded trainings that complement my in-person workshops for doulas, advanced doulas, and parents.

Using the TENS in labor

is an online, on-demand (prerecorded), self-paced course.

Learn how a TENS machine can help you during labor and Birth. This small handheld device is an excellent way to lessen the pain and discomfort for labor and birth. A tens machine can be started in early labor and can be used throughout your labor if you are planning a lower intervention birth or can be used up until the time of receiving an epidural.
