Rebirth & Ritual

A Holistic Postpartum Doula Workshop

Birth creates more than a baby. A mother is born too.

Everyone asks about the baby. Who is tending the person who just gave birth?

Rebirth & Ritual is a two-day workshop for birthworkers who want to go deeper into postpartum care: learning to tend the body, baby, family, and profound transition that unfolds after birth.

January 9–10, 2027

The baby isn’t the only one who needs to be held.

We prepare so much for the arrival of a baby. We talk about feeding, sleeping, supplies, and newborn care.

But what happens to the person who gave birth?

She is recovering physically. Feeding and learning her baby. Sleeping in fragments. Integrating her birth experience. Navigating a changed body, a changed identity, and a family reorganizing around a new life.

And often, everyone is asking how the baby is doing.

Postpartum support cannot stop at holding the baby, preparing a meal, or keeping the house running. Those things can matter enormously. But the person who just gave birth needs care, too.

This transition deserves to be witnessed.

Postpartum care takes more than a checklist.

You can make soup and still miss what the person in front of you actually needs.

You can know how to change a diaper and still feel unsure how to support a family moving through the intensity of early postpartum life.

Rebirth & Ritual brings together the heart and hands of postpartum work.

The hands: practical, embodied skills that help you become genuinely useful in a postpartum home.

The heart: presence, listening, reverence, relationship, and the ability to witness a profound transition without taking over.

A strong postpartum doula needs both.

This is not simply a workshop about completing postpartum tasks. It is an invitation to understand the whole postpartum ecosystem—and to develop the skills and awareness to tend it.

What we’ll explore

The birthing person: body, mind, and spirit

Postpartum is a time of physical recovery, emotional change, vulnerability, and profound reorganization.

We’ll explore ways to support the person who has given birth, including:

Postpartum physiology and recovery
Rest, warmth, nourishment, and protection of the early postpartum period
Herbs and traditional postpartum support
Touch and body care within appropriate scope
Womb-centered care
Breast/chest support within appropriate scope
Emotional and nervous-system support
Birth-story integration and identity transition
Ritual, closure, witnessing, and honoring the transition
Recognizing concerns and knowing when to refer

The baby, partner, siblings, and family

Postpartum care includes the baby, but it should never forget the person who gave birth.

We’ll explore:

Newborn transition and practical baby care
Understanding baby language and reading cues
Baby massage and babywearing
Feeding support within appropriate doula scope
Supporting partners as they find their place in the new family
Helping siblings navigate the arrival of a baby
Supporting the household without turning postpartum care into housekeeping
Helping parents build confidence rather than becoming dependent on the doula

The postpartum doula

You are part of the care ecosystem, too.

We’ll look at the boundaries, awareness, and professional foundations that help you do this work responsibly and sustainably:

Understanding your role and scope of practice
Knowing when something needs referral
Creating clear boundaries and expectations
Recognizing your own triggers and limits
Emotional hygiene and debriefing
Offering meaningful support without becoming indispensable
Building a sustainable postpartum practice

Ritual doesn’t have to be elaborate. It has to mean something.

Rebirth & Ritual recognizes that something profound has happened.

A baby has arrived. A person has given birth. A partnership and a family have changed. A new identity is taking shape.

Ritual can create an intentional moment to acknowledge that transition.

It might involve warmth, food, touch, words, ceremony, birth-story integration, or simply slowing down enough to witness what has happened.

Ritual is not decorative. It is one way of taking postpartum seriously.

And sacred care does not mean pretending postpartum is always beautiful. There can be exhaustion, grief, anger, uncertainty, tenderness, joy, and many things at once.

The work is to meet the person and family who are actually there.

This is practical care and sacred presence.

This workshop is for you if you are:

An aspiring postpartum doula who wants to understand the depth of this work
A birth doula who wants to expand into postpartum care
An existing postpartum doula looking for greater depth and hands-on skill
A birthworker whose previous training felt too task-oriented or incomplete
Someone drawn to traditional care, ritual, and whole-person support who also wants practical grounding and responsible boundaries

You do not need to choose between practical competence and reverence.

You can learn to be useful without taking over. To offer care without making yourself the center. To bring traditional practices into your work thoughtfully and responsibly.

You can tend the whole family—not just the to-do list.

ALUMNA REFLECTION • WORKSHOP GRAD

In an alumna’s words

I would highly recommend going through the Baby-Led Birthworker and Rebirth & Ritual Postpartum Doula training with Geneva Montano. She uses evidence-based information with a spiritual twist to help us better understand and comfort pregnant, birthing, and postpartum clients.

Geneva not only teaches—she gives us opportunities to discuss and practice hands-on techniques, and I appreciated the follow-up sessions so we could share how we were incorporating the lessons we learned.

Learn how to enter a postpartum home and know what to do.

The early postpartum period is intimate. You are entering a family’s home at a time when bodies, relationships, routines, and identities are changing.

The work asks you to notice. To listen before fixing. To understand what is within your role. To know when to step in, when to stay quiet, and when to refer.

It asks for capable hands and an attentive heart.

Rebirth & Ritual is a professional workshop that treats postpartum care as the meaningful, skilled work it is.
