Every birth story begins with safety. Yet for many women and families, hidden layers of stress, overwhelm, or past trauma quietly shape the journey into parenthood. As care providers, we may see only fragments — a contraction, a lactation challenge, a postnatal recovery plan — but the mother and baby experience it as one continuous story.

Rooted in Safety: Trauma-Informed Perinatal Care is a self-study course designed to help you see the whole picture. Through engaging facilitator videos, real-life examples, and reflective exercises, you’ll explore what trauma truly is, how it lives in the body, and how it impacts mothers, babies, families, and even care providers themselves.

This course is built for all perinatal professionals — obstetricians, midwives, doulas, lactation consultants, physiotherapists, nutritionists, childbirth educators, prenatal yoga and fitness teachers, and anyone walking alongside families in the perinatal period.

Whether you work in a hospital, a clinic, or a community setting, you’ll come away with a deeper understanding of trauma, practical skills to bring safety into your interactions, and a renewed sense of purpose in your work.

Rooted in Safety invites you not just to learn new information, but to reflect, reframe, and gently transform the way you see and support mothers and babies — honouring their story, every step of the way.
