Inspirational Postpartum Doula Training with Debra Pascali-Bonaro

Do you have a passion — or even an untapped interest — for nurturing mothers? For empowering, educating and supporting them, especially during the postpartum period?

Whether you want to explore that calling for the very first time, or continue your education, Blooma is thrilled to offer a postpartum doula training with one of the world’s most inspiring and revered doula trainers.

Debra Pascali-Bonaro‘s DONA-approved postpartum doula training (Sept. 5-8) is unlike any other.

Beyond the expected, Debra’s training reflects her human rights activism with governments, NGOs and birth professionals around the world. She is president of MotherLove, Inc. one of the oldest doula training and consulting agencies in North America, and is also the producer/director of the film Orgasmic Birth and a mother of six!

There’s much more to say about Debra, but to sum it up, this woman is nothing short of AMAZING. Read more about Debra’s training, then sign up online or by calling Blooma at 952.848.1111.

Unfamiliar with Debra’s film work? You can now watch her films via digital download for $14, or through an online, 4-day rental for $2.99. Settle in with your favorite chocolate bar or a bowl of popcorn and prepare to be inspired!

We are incredibly lucky to bring Debra to the Twin Cities and absolutely cannot wait to learn from her.

Love,

Alisa, Sarah & the women of Blooma

“We’re a team & we’ll be a team forever”

Those are the words spoken by the beautiful, amazing Liz Abbene about her family. Granted, she’s a dear friend so I’m a bit biased, but I know that everyone at Blooma agrees.

She has touched the lives of hundreds of you at Blooma through her Enlightened Mama classes, New Mama Group on Wednesdays, breastfeeding work, doula work, and doula training. (Whew!)

Her ability to give to others, as well as to her own family is nothing short of inspirational. Liz exudes such grace that one wouldn’t be able to guess all that she and her immediate family have been through in the last year. One by one, beginning last November, it was discovered that each of her four children and her husband have myotonic dystrophy, a form of muscular dystrophy.

During this past Sunday’s Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) telethon, the Abbene family was featured in a three minute video. If you missed it, take a look. If you feel so inclined, feel free to make a donation to the MDA.

Not everyone would be so open about such a life challenge, but Liz’s and her family are so strong — their bond unbreakable. Much love to the Abbenes — each one of you a gift to Blooma and to this world.

Love,

Alisa, Sarah & the women of Blooma
