Birthworker Writing Workshop
Join birthworkers and writers Carly Ann Marshall-Braun and Julie Lambert for a half-day retreat for doulas, midwives, and all birthworkers.
We hold space for our clients’ births and we also have our own stories to hold. Join us in releasing and letting go of that which no longer needs to be held. Honoring ourselves, our work and our stories is how we thrive.
