“Inspired to Serve” Peace to Progress was birthed from a passion to support women and families with the tools they need to flourish through every state of their journey. In the 1930s Dr. Grantly Dick-Read began describing the relationship fear had on the birthing process. His research culminated in a circle, where Fear leads to Tension, Tension leads to Pain, and Pain further fortifies a women's Fear in the midst of her labor. Throughout her hands-on experience as a labor and delivery nurse, mother of four, and doula, Milly Weis built off of Dr. Dick-Read's foundation to further describe an alternative circle. She found that Peace is the psychological factor that leads to the release of Endorphins in the brain. Endorphins bath the tissues of the body, producing more elasticity in the muscles and tissues they influence. When muscles and tissues are saturated in Endorphins, this produced quicker and less painful Progress in birthing a child—leading to greater levels of Peace! These polar circles can be further appreciated from the context of Milly's labor and delivery experience. Dr. Dick-Read's "Fear/Tension/Pain Circle" holds the same initials as those of a common abbreviation utilized in hospitals across the country: FTP (Failure To Progress). An obstetric chart is often marred with this abbreviation along the path toward a possible cesarean delivery and represents the provider's evaluation that the woman's cervix is simply not making the needed change fast enough. Our passion is to provide women with the Peace they need in order to Progress through their labor smoothly and quickly in order to avoid this abbreviation all together!

Dads to Doulas Bootcamp has been beneficial to first time dads and fourth time dads, paramedic dads and factory line dads, guys’ guy dads and every variation of dads in between. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea31bcaecb8567d06e1e12a/1589570942098-SNNTVDIR6T76NSKCCCKC/96838035_939481196511496_8633539926077472768_o.jpg Blueprint Based Birth Course - Knowledge is Power, or in this case, Peace Forget trying to psych yourself into peace. We recognize that most of the anxiety surrounding birth comes from cultural influences. For this reason, it requires both a process of “learning,” “unlearning,” as well as “replacing” information in order to fully trust the instinctual process of birth. Our Blueprint Based Birth class is a 7-week, full-immersion course designed to do just that. https://www.peacetoprogress.com/dads-to-doulas-bootcamp daily 0.75 2020-05-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea31bcaecb8567d06e1e12a/1589916778900-69IUN8MYBZP8OITUV0RP/Sample+2.png Dads to Doulas Bootcamp https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea31bcaecb8567d06e1e12a/1589916791238-C3NVFO96HVD8MV7ZNGDT/Sample+3.png Dads to Doulas Bootcamp https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea31bcaecb8567d06e1e12a/1589916803016-MXM8AII2C0VH99FF6TY0/Sample+4.png Dads to Doulas Bootcamp https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea31bcaecb8567d06e1e12a/1589916847288-O26APTN2ZUE4A9RI4ZE8/Sample+5.png Dads to Doulas Bootcamp https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea31bcaecb8567d06e1e12a/1589916856845-BPGA9SX6W61UN8QQDE4S/Sample+6.png Dads to Doulas Bootcamp https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea31bcaecb8567d06e1e12a/1589916867688-YXYE97WP7ZMSJONQWJRT/Sample+7.png Dads to Doulas Bootcamp https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea31bcaecb8567d06e1e12a/1589916885318-J0O7M7Y3DJBBF4CRT099/Sample+8.png Dads to Doulas Bootcamp https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea31bcaecb8567d06e1e12a/1589916896086-UNTORTSWXQAPILLI1O4B/Sample+9.png Dads to Doulas Bootcamp https://www.peacetoprogress.com/home daily 0.75 2020-04-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cdb0b54755be25d5d92bfb3/1559252207571-LZCNVW6ZFPOBOLJS7EC4/image-asset.jpeg Generic - Home - Continuing Education for Teachers We create bespoke continuing education programs to address the needs of teachers and their student communities.
