This is the 1st Energy-based Training Program for Teaching Women to Accept Ownership and Responsibility for their Birth

It's easy to blame doctors and insurance companies, but the heart of the problem with birth in America is that women don't know how to put themselves at the center of their birth.

In looking for answers outside of themselves they put pressure on doulas and childbirth educators to do the impossible - guarantee a "perfect" birth. The answer comes from making the body-voice-action connection. I will show you techniques to inspire your clients to take a starring role in their own birth experience.

Who’s this certification program for?

Doulas & Doulas-in-Training

What people are saying

 

Debra Pascali-BonaroKaren Brody’s approach to changing the culture of birth and helping moms put themselves at the center of their own birth is amazingly effective. I highly recommend her certification program to doulas, childbirth educators, and other birth workers seeking to help teach their clients that every woman is responsible for her pregnancy and birth – and deserves a safe, satisfying and pleasurable birth.”

Marianna Terhune“Karen Brody has devoted her life to the pursuit of helping women regain control of their birthing experiences. To help women find their voices, their bodies and their souls. By working with Karen and learning her approach I can see how I have helped to improve the cultural mindset of birth! Thank you Karen for all that you have done for me and for pregnant women and their families.”

Tanya Malcolm"Karen’s work transformed my very soul! I held hands with other women who I knew nothing of...we danced, cried, laughed, and honoured ourselves in a way that completed me. A sisterhood. I found my femininity and evoked in myself a voice that sang “FINALLY!” Karen helped me find my authentic voice. My entire being embraced that message. A simple message…trust. Trust that my instincts are valid. Karen’s techniques had a unique and mysterious way of opening up thought processes that balance on intuition…the very foundation I needed to embark upon my journey towards my authentic self! Every grandmother, mother, daughter, and most especially pregnant woman should be supported by the work of Karen Brody.”

Margaret Kirschner"Since working with Karen, my transformation has been moving forward at hyper speed, it seems. I have been feeling a huge amount of emotion and have used the body, voice, action method just about daily to center myself. It truly works because it honors each woman’s unique perspective and allows her to create her own empowered birth experience. Karen’s work is exactly what I needed and it is precisely the kind of teaching I’d love to offer to guide pregnant women toward empowering themselves to trust their intuition. I felt an almost geek-like admiration for what she’s created right from the start. As I progressed through the course, I realized how valuable the practices are, not only for birth preparation, but for any important life transition.”

Elizabeth Mangum-Sarach"The FEAR to FREEDOM™ method is a way to teach women to be more connected with their bodies and voices in order to have a more empowered birth experience. It’s been an incredible journey for me, as well, in all aspects of my life as I have been learning from each weekly module and practicing the techniques with my clients. The real gift has been to actually witness women become more in touch with themselves, their “True Nature”, and to watch them “keep their internal power switch on” during birth! With every woman I work I maintain a nonjudgmental approach as I support them, one breath/contraction at a time, as they unfold their own birth experience. It’s been an amazing gift to watch women choose their own birth experience.”
