MIX& MINGLE- DOULA WIND DOWN

Doula Wind Down

Exhale. Unclench. Come back to yourself.

Doula Wind Down is NBDA®’s restorative gathering created to support the emotional well-being and sustainability of doulas and birthworkers. This is a calm, low-pressure space to slow down, decompress, and reconnect after the week—without expectations, performance, or pressure to “show up perfect.”

Through gentle activities like guided reflection, open conversation, community sharing, and nervous-system-supportive practices, we center rest, care, and real connection for those doing demanding birth work.

We’re also adding a fun game element to bring some lightness and laughter—think a simple, low-stakes, doula-themed activity designed for easy smiles, playful interaction, and quick bonding. It’s not just a relaxing event; it’s a nurturing space where self-care can include both deep rest and joyful connection.

What to Expect

• A soothing, welcoming space to unwind and reset

• Gentle prompts for reflection and emotional release

• Community conversation, support, and shared experiences

• A fun, light-hearted game moment to spark laughter and connection

• A soft landing to help you reconnect with your purpose and your people

Who It’s For Doulas, doulas in training, birthworkers, and community care providers at any stage—especially those craving a supportive space to rest, recharge, laugh a little, and stay connected.

Come as you are. Cameras on or off. Tea optional, but highly encouraged.
