In Memory of Honey
לעילוי נשמת הינדא ריזל בת אידל
The Honey Birth Workshops were established to share the joyful energy of Honey, my mom, regarding childbirth education and support.
Women should never feel that they are alone during this momentous and intense part of their lives.
The workshops are a place to get your questions answered, to help alleviate fear and uncertainty surrounding childbirth and to connect with other future moms.

Who We Are
Highly qualified and motivated professionals
Workshops are given by Yocheved Glaser who has been a doula and midwife assistant for the Baltimore community for over 14 years, assisting at over 300 births. She trained under Ina May Gaskin and Pamela Hunt at the Farm Midwifery program. She has eight children and is an instructor at Woman’s Institute of Torah Seminary.
Other local doula's, midwives and birth related vendors are invited to attend the last session.
Did you know?
Studies suggest that increased access to doula care, especially in under-resourced communities, can improve a range of health outcomes for mothers and babies, lower healthcare costs, reduce c-sections (cesarean sections), decrease maternal anxiety and depression, and help improve communication between low-income, racially/ethnically diverse pregnant women and their health care providers.
The role of doula care in reducing c-sections is important, because c-sections contribute to the risk of maternal morbidity and mortality in initial and subsequent pregnancies.
