At Heartsongs Doula, we provide grief-informed, culturally responsive trainings to help caregivers navigate conversations around baby loss.

The Holding Space for Pregnancy Loss Training, created by Amy Wright Glenn (founder of The Institute for the Study of Birth, Breath, and Death), offers caregiving professionals, birth workers, and community leaders the opportunity to deepen their ability to compassionately support families through miscarriage, stillbirth, and infant loss.

This training is open to anyone with a deep interest in supporting grieving families.
