Supporting Women through Perinatal Loss

A Workshop for Childbirth Professionals

with Miriam Maslin

The entire birthing process can be seen as a paradigm. Painful contractions represent the challenges in our lives; and each challenge presents an opportunity for growth and healing. The greater the challenge ? the greater the potential for transformation. Only from the deepest, darkest places can we reach the loftiest heights.

Perinatal losses are ?contractions? that no one ever wishes to encounter. Yet, working in this field, each of us will ultimately be called upon to support a couple through such an experience. How can we, as childbirth professionals, learn to be truly present with our clients? Do we know that while pain and loss are inevitable, trauma is not? What can we do to support through this difficult birth in a way that will promote healing and growth?

Finally, how can we ?support and transform? ourselves throughout this process?

We will explore this challenge through stories, meditations, writing, counseling exercises, and teachings.
