April 19 is the day my beloved son was born. My son who wasn’t born alive. And I want to spend the day, with you.
[COVID NOTICE: this Day Training will take place only in accordance to the most current public health regulations for travel and gatherings. Options for the event can include an amended schedule or a rescheduled date. Because the public health situation is fluid, finalized decisions on options will be posted here.
To support individuals registered for the event, we are combining this event with free access to our full online certification. Our full online certification tuition is $250 standard.]
So we’re going to provide our Day Training, right in our founding town of Kansas City.
The Day Training itself will be held Saturday, April 18, from 10am-4pm.
Because some will be traveling in, we will have the event room for the entire weekend. Feel welcome to lodge Friday or Saturday or both nights at the beautiful hotel, and spend even more time building friendships and sharing stories.
This event is open to the public. Our Day Training events are often presented within hospital settings or groups of midwives and doulas. Because it is on my heart to do so, we are trying something different and we all will share this space together.
The hotel setting is appropriate for you to create a weekend mini-vacation with loved ones, but our learning time in the meeting room will be reserved for registered adults only.
Venue
Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Kansas City at Village West, KS
