Women's satisfaction has more to do with the way they conduct themselves and the way they are treated than with the actual clinical features of their labor
Reviews
Here are some of the things participants said when they were asked: "What are you taking away from the workshop?"
"I took Neri’s workshop because I was getting disheartened when couples would tell me prenatally that they want an unmedicated labor, or to go “as natural as possible” and then despite all the time I spent with them offering resources, giving information, listening to their birth goals and making a birth plan, things often went astray. It made me feel like I had failed as their doula...I am now feeling empowered, renewed and excited to practice coaching couples for birth in a new way and I know it is going to make for happier, healthier and more satisfied mamas and babies."
"It was really refreshing to learn about this new way of solving common doula dilemmas. Seeing myself as a labor coach, I feel more focused on the woman's wishes for her birth, have a very easy time staying within my scope of practice, and offering nonjudgmental support...I recommend this workshop to all doulas, beginners or experienced because, with the tools she teaches, my job is easier...I asked my most talkative, well-researched client, what she was giving up in order to have an unmedicated birth. She soon connected with her fear of battling with hospital staff. Then we worked on strategies for that, many inspired by your workshop."
I absolutely LOVED your "Epidural" webinar! Thank you, very much! There were amazing tips I'll want to use… Half of my clients had epidurals, and I'm afraid that I didn't do everything for them that I could have. After the epidurals were administered, I wasn't much use to them, and I think my closure visits were weak.
At any rate:THANK YOU, VERY MUCH!
"Neri’s class has given me a new set of tools to better identify my clients' true wishes for birth. I also feel better able to address the underlying fears or concerns of the women I serve. Although I have already been trying to approach my relationships with my clients and their care team from a position of curiosity, Neri’s course has given me the language and structure to do so more effectively. I feel better equipped to handle whatever comes my way. Thank you, Neri!"
