Date Change for Perinatal Loss Workshop in Centerville, OH

Supporting Women through Perinatal Loss
A Workshop for Childbirth Professionals
with Miriam Maslin
Sponsored by
Dayton Area Labor Support and Perinatal Education Associates
"I attended an enlightening and empowering workshop entitled, "Supporting
Women through Perinatal Loss" guided by Miriam Maslin, an amazing doula and
polarity therapist from Jerusalem. She didn't teach the session but guided
us to the awareness and answers that were within by encouraging us to learn
from each other and to trust in ourselves." ~ "The Neutral Fulcrum" by
MaryBeth Nance, CD(DONA), CLD(CAPPA), International Doula, Volume 16, Issue
2, Page 9
The entire birthing process can be seen as a paradigm. Painful contractions
represent the challenges in our lives; and each challenge presents an
opportunity for growth and healing. The greater the challenge - the greater
the potential for transformation. Only from the deepest, darkest places can
we reach the loftiest heights.
Stillbirths and neonatal deaths are "contractions" that no one ever wishes
to encounter. Yet, working in this field, each of us will ultimately be
called upon to support through such an experience.
How can we, as childbirth professionals, learn to be truly present with
our clients?
Do we know that while pain and loss are inevitable, trauma is not?
What can we do to support in a way that will promote healing and
growth?
And finally, how can we nurture and elevate ourselves throughout this
difficult process?
We will explore this challenge through stories, meditations, writing,
counseling exercises, sharing, and teachings.

Wife, mother, grandmother, and retired interior designer, Miriam Maslin has
been a source of inspiration to many: young and old, secular and religious,
long-time searchers and those who are just beginning their own "Interior
Design". Her inner journey has taken her across the spectrum from the
beginning to the end of the life cycle -- she is a doula and has served as
both hospice volunteer and member of the Jewish Burial Society. She
incorporates both Polarity Therapy (a system of energy/holistic healing) and
spiritual teachings into her work. Miriam has lead workshops for women's
groups and childbirth professionals in over twenty-one U.S. states; in
Canada and Israel. She will be presenting a workshop this summer at the DONA
International Conference in Atlanta. You can read more about her work at
