Happy Midwifery Week!!!

In celebration of Midwifery Week and the important role doulas play in positive birth outcomes, we invite LA area doulas to a special nature hike in the Pasadena area on Thursday, October 5 at 10AM.

 We will enjoy the San Gabriel mountains while learning about some of the edible plants and herbs that surround us. Bring your curiosity, a fork and a bowl to enjoy some freshly made salad that we pick on our hike. 

As a learning hike, there is a group size limit. As such, this hike is open to doulas only. All attendees must RSVP individually. Hike location details will be emailed to RSVP’d guests.

This is a FREE hike for doulas serving Los Angeles County 

If you would like to support this event during Midwifery Week, we encourage you to donate to the Southern California based The Victoria Project, which helps make midwifery, doula and holistic maternal care available to more women across LA County and Southern California. You can donate directly on their website or bring a check to "The Victoria Project" to hike. 

In celebration of Midwifery week, Los Angeles Midwives presents a virtual, small-panel discussion on the importance of nutrition in pregnancy and role it plays in shaping positive birth outcomes. 

In our practice, diet and nutrition are addressed during all parts of the pregnancy and postpartum journey. We carry multiple copies of "Real Food for Pregnancy" and "Functional Maternity" in our lending library to lend to our clients. 

These authors have re-enforced how vital nutrition is in positive birth outcomes, and we want to share their ideas with fellow midwives, nurses, OB/GYNs, doulas, and other allies and partners of women who are pregnant or want to be pregnant.

This webinar is FREE for all participants
