✨ Exciting News from Carriage House Birth! ✨

At Carriage House Birth, we know that life as a birthworker can be full of twists and turns. Whether your certification has lapsed, or life pulled you away from completing your training, we’ve created a certification pathway with you in mind. This offering allows you to reclaim your certification and continue the work that’s so close to your heart. We’re thrilled to offer this at a low price of $499 to make it even more accessible for our community. As more major insurance companies, including Medicaid, begin reimbursing families for doula services, having an active certificate is becoming essential. With this certification, you’ll meet those requirements and continue to sustain your practice while supporting families in the ways they need most.

We’re here to help you renew, reengage, and thrive in your doula work, so you can keep growing alongside the families you serve.

Let’s keep doing this important work together! We are starting our next birth doula training TOMORROW! Act now! ❤️

📢 Dear Community,

I’m reaching out on behalf of one of my incredible birth doula clients, a young single mother facing a tough journey with her baby girl, born at just 24 weeks. Her little one needs specialized care for pulmonary hypertension and bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital. She had to relocate recently from Long Island to receive the care that her daughter needs.

The financial burden of medical bills, travel, securing a new apartment, and daily living expenses is overwhelming. We’ve started a GoFundMe to help.

Every donation, no matter the size, will make a huge difference. Please donate if you can or share this post.

Thank you for your support. 🙏

How do you feel about giving birth?

For many the first thought that comes to mind is related to fear. Will my birth go according to plan? What if my home birth turns into a hospital birth? Will I be able to do it? These thoughts and feelings are normal. Especially if this is your first birth. Remember that you are strong. You are capable. And you have time to prepare and plan. We love that we get to hop on this journey with you even if it's just for a short while. We want to help shift the focus from fear to confidence in your ability to birth your baby.

How do you feel about BABYWEARING? 🤩

If you are curious about babywearing and want to dive in deeper into this topic we have the perfect offering for you! We have a Babywearing for Families class coming up with Adriane Stare . After the birth of her first son, Adriane fell in love with babywearing - the most critical skill that she learned as a new parent. She founded and ran Caribou Baby and Wild Was Mama from 2011-2018, Brooklyn’s wildly popular Natural Baby/Maternity shops and Class spaces for new families. For more than a decade, she’s helped thousands of families find their confident, joyful groove in parenting by teaching them how to develop real skills and strategies, instead of just buying more 'stuff' and quick solutions. Her babywearing work and parenting approach has been featured widely on news and parenting platforms, including Good Morning America, The New York Times, Mother.ly and Crain’s New York. Who better to learn from? We are so excited for you to embark on your babywearing journey!

Are you curious about BABYWEARING?🤔

Maybe you are newly pregnant and your other parent friends have told you how AMAZING baby carriers are! Or maybe you have a newborn/infant and wonder if it is worth the hype?

Babywearing can help parents respond to feeding cues, settle gassy stomachs, build strength, lessen crying, help with sleep and improve mood. Plus, your hands are free to help you navigate the world with your new babe. Have you used a baby carrier? What was your experience of babywearing?

We have a wonderful Babywearing Class coming up with Adriane Stare . This class is taking place via Zoom on May 6th at 2PM EST. If you are interested in joining, click here: https://carriagehousebirth.teachable.com/p/babywearing-for-families

We can't wait for the Babywearing Class with Adriane Stare 🤩

There are many practical benefits for using baby carriers. This class is perfect for expecting families and families with infants who are curious about babywearing. In this 2.5-hour class you will learn:

An introduction to the rich, multicultural history of babywearing! We honor the traditions and communities that have kept this practice alive for millenia so that we may benefit.
The evidence-based physical, mental and emotional benefits of babywearing.
At least 5 styles of carriers that are optimal for infants, including tips for adjusting, feeding, and soothing babies while wearing them. I live-demo many common carrier brands (mishaps and all!) so you can truly understand what babywearing looks and feels like IRL.
How to wear ANY carrier safely and comfortably.
How to choose the perfect carrier(s) for your family.

I’ve been present for hundreds of births, and every birth story is as unique as the person telling it. Giving birth takes us right to the edge of ourselves. Some of us don’t fall but decide to step back; some of us step right off, and others feel as though we were pushed.

I labored at home (where I planned to deliver my first child) for 78 hrs and eventually had to transfer to a hospital for a C- Birth. I caught a life-threatening infection during the surgery and was separated from my child for the first ten days of his life while I recovered. 12 years later, I had a VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean) that happened so fast that I barely had time to process. I’ve witnessed and supported loss at every stage of pregnancy. I’ve had a first and second trimester loss myself. Processing with other parents was the only way I could integrate all the parts of me that I left behind during my deliveries.

Join me for a Virtual
BIRTH STORY SHARE AND WRITING CIRCLE
May 3rd, 1 pm -3 pm
I’ll be offering this session once a month through December.

Whether you are recovering from a traumatic birth experience or feel accepting of how it all unfolded but still have some questions, we can all benefit from having a container held for us to share safely. Recovering from birth can feel incredibly isolating and complex. You may have feelings of confusion and grief, no matter what. I have found that this kind of support is precisely the kind of ritual that our society lacks.

My goal for the time is to have each participant leave feeling more connected and cared for than when they arrived, with potentially a new perspective or more clarity about their experience, but at least more community who might identify with their story.

You can expect DEEP listening. Sharing will be optional. You will have the opportunity to write your birth story, little by little, throughout each session. (Link in stories) *Partners and loved ones welcome*
