Doula, do you shy away from the word "advocacy" because it has an negative meaning? What if you could learn how to be an advocate for your clients without confrontation and feel like the team actually comes together and the focus is on the birthing family. I've created a workshop that does just that!  Lower your anxiety and create a safe birthing space for your families free of negativity and stress. ​
​Join me for an all-day workshop covering: 
  • Avoiding burnout
  • Creating boundaries
  • Identifying bias
  • Team building
  • Respectful communication
  • Non-confrontational advocacy
  • Keeping your power℠
I believe in the importance of in-person training, role-playing, discussion, and brainstorming. My collaborative workshops will help you, your agency, collective, or group understand advanced doula topics in an encouraging and nourishing setting while touching on secondary offenses and trauma. 
Learn "Keeping Your Power"℠for yourself and your clients. 
Keeping Your Power is about mindfulness, understanding, and pressing forward with your beliefs as the anchor. 
My goal in creating the workshop is to help doulas become unwavering in their understanding of advocacy for themselves and their clients while building professional relationships focused on the birthing family.
This workshop was created by Traci Weafer and is not associated with any certifying organization.

my name is jennifer B., and I just took the advanced doula workshop by Traci weafer. I believe Doulas should take this workshop because...

We don’t always realize the things we don’t know that we need to know as doulas.  The most important information I learned is how to guide clients in how hold their power. I will implement this by discussing it in prenatals and using role playing as a tool. 

Are you ready to race ahead in your doula work and growth?

Don't spend years learning the lessons we can cover in this one-day workshop. I am a certified doula with more than 20 years experience of successful team building and non-confrontational advocacy in doula work.
I'm also an  Evidenced Based Birth® Instructor and a certified Spinning Babies® Parents Educator. My passion is to empower doulas to step into their own power and hold space for their clients. 
The doula profession has a very high burnout rate. Your work needs to be sustainable. There are birthing families who need you!
Feeling helpless or lost at births? LOOK NO FURTHER, The Advanced Doula Workshop is for YOU!  ​

my name is Molly, and I just took the advanced doula workshop by Traci weafer. I believe Doulas should take this workshop because...

 When we fully understand and take hold of our power, we are better able to convey what it means for the clients we support. We are better equipped to hold space, be present, and help our clients prepare for their birth. The most important information that I learned is preparation is vital to the process of communication that happens in birth.
