The Birth Room Upgrade Workshop
Join Dr. Jodi Cunningham & April Kline, Midwife, IBCLC at the Evidence Based Birth® Comfort Measures for Nurses + more!
You'll learn how to:
EBB® Comfort Measures for L&D Nurses
By attending Comfort Measures for Labor and Delivery Nurses, you will not only get hands-on practice with comfort measures skills, but you'll also learn how you can overcome barriers to providing comfort measures on your unit!
Use Comfort Measures
that actually reduce pain perception and improve outcomes. Practice massage techniques, and use birth and peanut balls to support labor progression.
Support Physiologic Birth
with evidence-based information and optimal fetal positioning techniques added on. Also discuss with peer groups with lived experience wisdom totaling decades.
Integrate Breastfeeding Support
that provides support beyond just the first latch. Learn how to not only "check the box" but know your patient/client will be set up for success for weeks to come.
Shared Learning Amongst Doulas + Nurses & Midwives
This training is intentionally designed as a shared learning space for nurses, doulas, and midwives, because the best birth outcomes happen when the whole team is aligned.

the Pink Door
​
The Well: A Center for Women’s Wellness creates the perfect environment for this kind of hands-on, collaborative training.
Inside, you’ll find Soul Cucina, offering beverages and light snacks throughout the day. You’re welcome to bring your own lunch to enjoy during the workshop or step out briefly to grab something from nearby options.
​
The space itself invites movement, conversation, and practice:
-
Three thoughtfully designed floors to spread out and learn comfortably
-
A sunlit garden patio out front—perfect for fresh air, networking, and informal conversation
-
Dedicated space to practice with birth balls, peanut balls, and positioning tools in small groups
We’ve intentionally designed the flow of the day to include a blend of large-group discussion and small-group, hands-on learning, so you can not only understand the material—but actually practice it, refine it, and leave feeling confident using it in real birth room scenarios.
​
This isn’t a sit-and-listen workshop. It’s an interactive, embodied learning experience in a space that supports it.
