What Our previous students are saying…
“The MotherTender training was beyond anything I could have ever asked for. This training taught me how to really show up for mothers in their sacred season. The art of caring for and serving mothers from my inner well was beautifully woven throughout the educational content. Our guides in the training, Priya and Kate, teach from a place of wisdom, love, and experience. I’ve already booked my first client, and I couldn’t be more thrilled!”
Rachel
The MotherTender Doula training has gone above and beyond what I was expecting. This was way more potent and in-depth than the training I did to become a full spectrum Doula. As a newer Doula, this training has equipped me with skills and resources to feel very confident in working with new mamas and very capable to show up and support a mama however, she may need.
Taylor
The MotherTender training was a deep experience for me that combined intellectual learning with emotional processing as well as deep personal healing. Taking this training while I was 1.5-2 year postpartum myself helped me reflect and process my own postpartum experience while giving me a clear big lens of the vast healing potential that postpartum has for every mother when there is experienced holistic care that is provided for her. It also fueled me up with a renewed sense of heart-centered purpose to start to transition back to the working world in a mother-centered way, while continuing to integrate the new person that I am now as a mother.
