Come to the Harrisburg Conference! Photo © Lora Denton, loradentonphotography.com |
Dear friends, We invite you to join us in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, where we have planned a very exciting program for you. We have something for everyone—midwives, moms, doulas and doctors. This will be a great conference for improving clinical skills, and you will find a wealth of clinical information on breech birth, twins and VBACs, as well as classes on prolonged labor, shoulder dystocia and more. In addition, we’ve taken an international approach. We will host teachers from Brazil, France, Mexico, Norway, Canada and Ghana. Teachers from the Amish and Mennonite communities, as well as Ina May and Stephen Gaskin from The Farm Midwifery Center in Tennessee, will also be presenting. We will work on serious issues in midwifery and birth, and we will have fun, too. Harrisburg is near the heart of Pennsylvania’s Amish Country. The hotel we’ve selected will be a fun place to relax in the indoor pool and spa area, as you share birth stories and your heart for motherbaby. As always, it is our goal to offer you abundant information and insight, and to provide a renewing time to connect with colleagues. We provide all of this so you can go back to your practice, school or community, ready to do more. Join us this year for an unforgettable experience. We hope to refresh your joy and support you in sustaining your calling to nurture mothers and babies! love, Jan |
