25.01.2022 As part of the Doula Training Academy we provide live weekly webinars to check in with our members and students and provide ongoing professional development. We also have guest speakers from time to time who share their wisdom with the group and yesterday we had one of the big names in the birth industry - Rhea Dempsey Birthing Wisdom. Did you know that Rhea has been working in the birth industry for over 43 years? Amazing! So much experience, knowledge and devotion to birthing women. Two things that really resonated with me was when she said "We are privileged when we are present to see a physiological birth"....and "physiological birth is being hijacked"......so very true. Thanks Rhea for sharing your time with us.

23.01.2022 Why are doulas becoming so popular in Australia? I believe that this could be because maternity care has changed and become more medicalised hospital maternity care.

21.01.2022 This afternoon we had Private Practising Midwife and ECU Lecturer and Academic Dr Clare Davison talking about legal frameworks, ethics and choices working as a doula. It’s fantastic to know how we can advocate for women and give them back their power! . . . #doulas #perthdoulas #doulaperth #vickihobbs #consent #advocate #doulatraining #positivebirth #womensupportingwomen

18.01.2022 Our doulas are feeling a little excited about Dr Sarah Buckley presenting a live Zoom workshop with us this morning. At the Doula Training Academy we have a weekly live Zoom call to check in, debrief and provide ongoing learning opportunities and we have regular guest speakers who are experts in their field sharing their wisdom with us. https://sarahbuckley.com/

18.01.2022 We have our doula training practice day on Monday 14th September in Maylands (WA) and if you are 38 weeks or more and would be able to donate your time to helping out with doula practice that would be great. You would need to be willing to spend 2 and a half hours having a combination of massage, acupressure, a variety of doula skills including working with a rebozo, pelvic pathways positioning / stretching and receiving labour and birth information. We need 8 women for the morning session from 9:30am till 12pm, then another 8 women for the afternoon session from 2pm till 4:30pm (we cannot change these times so you must be available these times). Please email me at [email protected] . . . #doulatraining #doulatrainingperth #doulatrainingacademy #mumsinperth #pregnantinperth #perthmums

17.01.2022 Ohhhhh I forgot to mention that yesterday it was a unanimous decision that we would have a pyjama party...so we all came dressed in our pyjamas! It was so much fun, relaxed and colourful and definitely highlighted to me how I need to get some new funky pyjamas - the care bear bottoms were clearly a favourite! . . . #pyjamaparty #doulatrainingacademy #doula #doulatraining #doulatrainingperth #australiandoulas #vickihobbs #fundoulas #traininginpyjamas

13.01.2022 Cultural appropriation versus cultural appreciation. What is the difference and how does that affect us as doulas and birth work? . . . #doulasupport #doula #doulatraining #doulatrainingperth #perthdoulas #positivebirth #culturalappropriation #vickihobbs #doulatrainingacademy #perthmums #australiandoulas

12.01.2022 Thanks to midwife and childbirth educator Pip Wynn Owen from @birthsavvy who spent the day at our doula training going over the medical model to give our doulas an understanding of inductions, interventions and variations of birth. Such valuable information and resources. . . . #birthsavvy #doulatrainingperth #doula #doulatraining #vickihobbs #doulatrainingacademy #doulasareawesome #australiandoulas

12.01.2022 Practice day for our student doulas who are doing the Doula Training Academy online course.

10.01.2022 Did you know that once you have reached the age of 35, you are then referred to as Advance Maternal Age or even sometimes known as a Geriatric Pregnancy? Once you are 35 years and older you are then placed within the high-risk category in pregnancy and birth regardless of how fit and healthy you may be. Although numbers show this has not deterred Mature Age women, these days it seems more and more women are choosing to leave it until later in life to start their family. https://doulatrainingacademy.com.au/advanced-maternal-age-/

09.01.2022 Another of our amazing speakers at the doula training this week @belle_verdiglione sharing some savvy marketing and social media tips. . . . #doula #doulatrainingperth #savvymarketing #vickihobbs #doulatrainingacademy #positivebirth #doulalife

06.01.2022 Our last day of Doula training and what a day it’s going to be - spontaneous Laughter Yoga

06.01.2022 I’ve been missing in action the last 2 weeks while I run the doula training. OMG it’s been intensely awesome and we have 8 incredible and unique women sharing this journey with me and the amazing speakers we have. I learn so much during training as well, and it ignites all over again the solidarity of birth work and how important doulas are.

05.01.2022 "Evidently, all induction methods call for in depth consideration before committing to the induction of labour. Each has its risks and possible benefits however the greatest concern to consider before consenting to any methods is the cascade of interventions that more often than not, lead to poor outcomes as a result. Each birth is unique. A woman holds so much power and wisdom in her ability to birth her baby the way she chooses to. We want to ensure mothers have bodily autonomy and understand the risks should she choose to consent before fully understanding them. We want our mothers to trust their bodies, their intuition and the process. Natural labour and birth is much more than the medical event it has evolved to be."

04.01.2022 @fionarogerson.counsellorperth discussing birth trauma and working with couples who have experienced birth trauma while also recognising your own trauma while supporting women as a doula at their birth, which is so important. Our face to face training is super intensive, varied and interesting from so many different angles and one of the important areas is working through births that may not go to plan. . . . #doula #doulatrainingperth #perthdoula #birthtrauma #fionarogerson #vickihobbs #doulatrainingacademy #counselling #perthmums

02.01.2022 Here is a fantastic list of birthing options for couples in Metro Melbourne and South West Victoria by our very own student doula Eloise Goldby of Simplicity Visuals
