Announcement
After 10 years of partnership, BACE and I are transitioning to different paths from here…
As such, I’m excited to announce the early Spring due date of Evolution Perinatal Education Collaborative. This reimagined resource will continue to provide accessible, inclusive, evidence-based CBE training, and aspire to establish a new home for continuing education workshops led by experts in our birth community for doulas and educators.
As head faculty for BACE, I had the privilege of leading 12 cohorts of traditional and accelerated childbirth educator training workshops, mentoring and certifying many of the Boston area’s leading CBEs. I am so proud of my teacher training program which has evolved with your feedback to be dynamic, well-respected, and focused on the shared objective of helping expecting families figure out what is best for them. Now, it even includes a customizable curriculum template to remove technical obstacles for new educators, encouraging them to find their own teaching style and passion points, while preserving key tenets of comprehensive childbirth education certification recognized by employers and insurance providers. I am deeply grateful for the trust you all have had in me, and I can’t wait to share this next season with you.
Our first childbirth educator training will get underway in February 2025. Stay tuned as this program gestates!
BACE CBE workshops include:​
-
our comprehensive and customizable curriculum, ready to teach upon completion of BACE
-
a complete library of resources, links, articles and videos in our Google Classroom
-
access to The Educated Birth library of illustrations, images and infographics

The Educated Birth​
The Educated Birth confronts inequity in reproductive healthcare by creating inclusive visuals that recognize and celebrate the many identities and presentations of people in our communities (before, during, after, and excluding pregnancy), by crafting quality educational content with inclusive language that's easy to read and to teach with, and by inviting people (many who've often been left out of the "mainstream") — parents and reproductive health workers — to share their knowledge and stories.
​
Access to the library of images, visuals and infographics is INCLUDED in your BACE certification*
* BACE is a member and supporter of The Educated Birth since March 2022, utilizing graphics and illustrations by diverse artists and birth professionals, representing birthing people of all genders, races, abilities and family structures to strengthen intersectional reproductive health education​. Certification and current membership with BACE required to meet the parameters of our agreement and to provide fair and equitable use of The Educated Birth's artwork
