SUMMARY:Holding Space: An Online Mental Health Circle for Doulas
DESCRIPTION:Holding Space is an inclusive\, online mental health support circle created exclusively for doulas who give deeply and deserve to be held\, too. This dedicated gathering offers a space to pause\, exhale\, and tend to your own emotional and mental well-being—while in community with peers who truly understand the heart and complexity of birth work. \nFacilitated in a nurturing and affirming environment\, Holding Space invites doulas to share openly\, reflect honestly\, and reconnect with themselves beyond the role of caregiver. Together\, we explore the full spectrum of this work—burnout\, grief\, joy\, boundaries\, sustainability\, and everything in between—without judgment or expectation to “be strong.” \nThis circle is not about fixing or performing. It is about being witnessed\, supported\, and reminded that your care matters\, too. \nTime: 7:00-8:30 PM \nDate: Monthly\, Every third-Thursday\nSept 17\, 2026\nOct 15\, 2026\nNov 19\, 2026\nDec 17\, 2026\nJan 21\, 2027\nFeb 18\, 2027\nMar 18\, 2027\nApr 15\, 2027\nMay 20\, 2027\nInvestment: Free for Mama Glow Doulas \n$25.00 for everyone else \n  \nMeet Your Facilitator: Jamilla Jackson Kelly \nAs a wife and boy mom of 2\, Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Supervisor\, Birth and Postpartum Doula\, Jamillah Jackson Kelly enjoys supporting others on a variety of life paths. She earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology with minors in Spanish and Sociology from Georgetown University and a Masters of Science and Specialist in Education Degree in Couples and Family Counseling from the University of NC at Greensboro. Through Mama Glow\, Jamillah is trained as both a Birth and Postpartum Doula and a First Foods Justice Advocate; she is also trained as a Birth Doula through DONA International. With her varied experiences in the last 20 years of working in a domestic violence shelter\, county jail\, methadone clinic\, 24/7 behavioral health crisis line\, and now private practice\, Jamillah’s holistic and nonjudgmental orientation enables her to meet her clients where they are on their path. Jamillah fully believes and supports that we all have a right to show up authentically as our true selves and be respected as such. When we all have room to show up holistically\, we can survive and heal from our worst days and thrive into creating our best days.

SUMMARY:The Holding Circle: A Community-Centered Retreat for Pregnancy & Infant Loss
DESCRIPTION:The Holding Circle: A Community-Centered Retreat for Pregnancy & Infant Loss\nPresented by Mama Glow\nIn recognition of Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Month\, Mama Glow invites you to The Holding Circle\, an intimate\, community-centered retreat for individuals and families navigating miscarriage\, stillbirth\, infant loss\, and other forms of reproductive loss. \nPregnancy and infant loss can be profoundly isolating. Grief may continue long after the clinical encounter has ended\, often without the space\, language\, or community needed to hold everything that follows. At Mama Glow\, we believe reproductive health includes every outcome along the reproductive journey. Loss deserves care\, remembrance\, and community\, too. The Holding Circle creates a space to gather without expectation or explanation. \nThroughout the afternoon\, participants will move through guided meditation and grounding\, facilitated group counseling\, reflective journaling and paired sharing\, and a collective remembrance practice honoring pregnancies and lives lost. The retreat will close around a nourishing shared meal\, creating time to settle\, connect\, and close the afternoon with care. \n📆 Saturday\, October 10 | 12:00-4:00 PM  \n📍 The Soft Space\, Williamsburg\, Brooklyn \n🙏🏽 Free Community Offering | Application Required \nWhat We’ll Experience: \n\nOpening and closing meditation and grounding\nFacilitated group counseling and emotional support\nReflective journaling and paired sharing\nA collective remembrance practice\nSpace for quiet reflection and community connection\nA nourishing shared meal\nTake-home resources for continued care and support\n\nRetreat Facilitators:  \nMarjorie Vail\, MA\, MEd\, MS\, MHC-LP – Director of Outreach\, PUSH for Empowered Pregnancy | Group Counseling Facilitator \nDora Kamau – Lead Mindfulness Teacher\, Headspace | Opening & Closing Meditation \nErica Freeman – Founder & CEO\, Sisters in Loss | Remembrance Practice \nMandela Cocores – Founder\, Welcome Home | Meal & Hospitality \n  \nParticipation in The Holding Circle is free for participants\, but space is limited to preserve the intimacy of the retreat.

SUMMARY:Between Us: Intimacy Through the Fertility Journey - Co-Presented by: RMA New York & LOLA
DESCRIPTION:Between Us: Intimacy Through the Fertility Journey\nCo-Presented by: RMA New York & LOLA\nWednesday\, September 23 | 6:30–8:00 PM ET | Virtual \nFertility treatment can transform the way people experience their bodies\, relationships\, desire\, and sex. What once felt spontaneous or intimate can begin to feel scheduled\, clinical\, or closely tied to reproduction. “Between Us: Intimacy Through the Fertility Journey” is a virtual gathering centered on the emotional\, relational\, and sexual realities of moving through IVF and fertility care. \nFertility treatment is never only clinical. The experience can shape body image\, communication\, pleasure\, pelvic health\, partnership dynamics\, and the ways people relate to intimacy throughout the process. Between Us brings together leaders across reproductive medicine\, pelvic health\, sexual wellness\, and maternal health for an interdisciplinary conversation about what it takes to remain connected to yourself and to your partner while navigating fertility treatment. Together\, we’ll explore intimacy across the fertility journey: from the pressures of timed sex and medical intervention to changes in desire\, physical comfort\, emotional wellbeing\, communication\, and the possibility of reconnecting with pleasure beyond reproduction. \nWhat We’ll Explore: \n\nHow IVF and fertility treatment can affect sex\, desire\, and intimacy\nWhat happens when sex becomes scheduled\, medicalized\, or closely tied to conception\nChanges in body image\, identity\, and confidence throughout treatment\nPelvic health\, physical discomfort\, and sexual wellbeing\nCommunicating with a partner through stress\, uncertainty\, and treatment\nReconnecting with pleasure when reproduction has taken center stage\nThe role of emotional and relational support throughout the fertility journey\nHow individuals and couples can create space for intimacy that is not defined by fertility outcomes\n\nWe Will Be Joined By: \nDr. Tia Jackson-Bey\, MD\, MPH – Reproductive Endocrinology & Infertility Specialist\, RMA New York \nKimberly Huggins\, LCSW\, M.Ed.\, MPH\, PMH-C – Co-Founder\, KIMBRITIVE \nIsa Herrera\, MSPT\, CSCS – Founder\, PelvicPainRelief.com \nLatham Thomas – Founder\, Mama Glow

SUMMARY:Mama Glow Doula Homeschool – Level 1 –  Weekly Online Professional Training
DESCRIPTION:MAMA GLOW DOULA HOMESCHOOL ONLINE WEEKLY PROFESSIONAL TRAINING PROGRAM \n\nLEVEL 1 – WEEKLY ONLINE PROGRAM – SPRING/SUMMER 2026\nPREGNANCY – BIRTH – EARLY POSTPARTUM \nWITH MAMA GLOW FOUNDER\, LATHAM THOMAS \n  \nSince March of 2020 we at Mama Glow have been offering the Mama Glow Doula Homeschool Professional Training Program online to serve our global community of birth workers. \nThe SPRING/SUMMER 2026 weekly program covers pregnancy through the early postpartum period and will take place once per week on Sundays over a 6-week period. \nStarting Sunday\, May 17 – June 28\, 2026. Sundays from 12pm-3:30pm ET \nThe course tuition is offered at $825.00 + processing fees. \nPlease continue to read to see the Full SPRING/SUMMER 2026 Level 1 online training schedule. \nThe MAMA GLOW DOULA HOMESCHOOL virtual training program includes LIVE digital training via Zoom with Latham Thomas and modules with guest teachers\, assignments to complete at home and with your fellow doula trainees. \nWe care about community.\nMama Glow Doula trainees have time to connect digitally for face-to-face chat online with your doula siblings. Level 1 Doula Trainees will have a designated TA (a Teacher Assistant) to help support you during the program in our private online community. Trainees have an orientation the week prior to class starting and a private group within our online membership platform. \nThis program is open to all regardless of previous experience.\nOur work at Mama Glow is to improve the experience of birth for people everywhere. We are changing the face of maternal health by empowering birthing people at the threshold of change in their lives. We see birth as a unique opportunity to support and empower all people as well as educate society about the innate strength of the body and the sacred process of pregnancy and birth. We offer full spectrum doula support. Our doulas support clients during fertility\, birth clients and new parents\, holding their hands as they transition into this new phase of their lives. We seek to dismantle the stigmas and fears around the birth process for birthing folks. We also work to democratize birth support and have birth doulas available for every person or family that desires one. \nAs birth activism is central to the pulse of our mission and training\, we weave the thread of advocacy with our distinguished\, world-renown and award-winning guest teachers. The course includes preparation and education for birth doula support. This is a CERTIFICATE PROGRAM desgined to advance birthworkers professionally. \nReceive a supreme education with Mama Glow\nThe Mama Glow Professional Doula Training Program has been offered as a course in Gender and Sexuality Studies at Brown University where Mama Glow founder Latham Thomas was appointed Visiting Professor of the Practice of Gender and Sexuality Studies in the Pembroke Center for Teaching and Learning on Women. \nWhat makes Mama Glow unique? \nAside from our world class and one-of-a-kind program content and teaching methodology\, the Mama Glow Doula Professional Training Program includes ongoing Professional and Work-force Development\, which means we hold your hand as you take your certification journey and launch your business or advance your career. We even have an accelerated support program to help you complete your doula certification. \nMama Glow Doula Homeschool Level 1 is a Path To Doula Certification with Mama Glow.\nUpon completion of the 6-week live class and program modules\, doula trainees receive a Mama Glow Doula Trainee Certificate that indicates that they are ready to start their work in the field\, are adequately prepared to support birthing clients\, and are on the path towards doula certification. We offer monthly certification support to ensure you complete the course requirments for doula certification. It is our belief that every doula who emerges from the homeschool program should be equipped to serve birthing people during pregnancy\, birth and the early postpartum period. \nLEVEL 1 is the first step towards full MAMA GLOW DOULA certification. Beyond the homeschool weekly program\, doulas-in-training will need to complete mandatory coursework\, reading\, essays\, attend mandatory LEVEL 1 Modules (virtually) that support continuing education for doulas on the path to LEVEL 1 certification. All this work will begin after your in-class training period. After completion of LEVEL 1 you will be eligible to take the LEVEL 2 program which focuses on Complicated Birth and Postpartum Doula Support. \nLEVEL 1 will prepare newly minted doulas to begin working in all settings\, including in traditionally underserved and under-estimated communities. Many of our doulas have successfully transitioned into full time doula work.

SUMMARY:Holding Space: An Online Mental Health Circle for Doulas
DESCRIPTION:Holding Space is an inclusive\, online mental health support circle created exclusively for doulas who give deeply and deserve to be held\, too. This dedicated gathering offers a space to pause\, exhale\, and tend to your own emotional and mental well-being—while in community with peers who truly understand the heart and complexity of birth work. \nFacilitated in a nurturing and affirming environment\, Holding Space invites doulas to share openly\, reflect honestly\, and reconnect with themselves beyond the role of caregiver. Together\, we explore the full spectrum of this work—burnout\, grief\, joy\, boundaries\, sustainability\, and everything in between—without judgment or expectation to “be strong.” \nThis circle is not about fixing or performing. It is about being witnessed\, supported\, and reminded that your care matters\, too. \nTime & Date: Feb 26\, 2026 07:00 PM \nInvestment: Free for Mama Glow Doulas \n$25.00 for everyone else \n  \nMeet Your Facilitator: Jamilla Jackson Kelly \nAs a wife and boy mom of 2\, Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Supervisor\, Birth and Postpartum Doula\, Jamillah Jackson Kelly enjoys supporting others on a variety of life paths.
