It is designed to bring together perinatal healthcare providers and experts, parents and parents to be, and anyone else interested in in perinatal issues and the development of community in Portland and surrounding areas. Doula Tea is held every month, usually on the third Sunday unless it is conflicting with a holiday.
Meetings last for an hour and a half, refreshments are served. Every month there is a guest speaker. In February of 2016 our speaker was Dr. Mike Dowling of Falmouth Pediatric Dentistry. He discussed issues with “tongue tie”.
The March 2016 a last minute speaker change was made and the speaker will be Dr. Lou Jacobs, Chiropractor. Doula Tea with Dr. Lou Jacobs will be about “The Webster Technique”. The Webster Technique is a chiropractic method of evaluation and adjustment that was developed by Dr. Larry Webster, founder of The International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA). The Webster Technique is known worldwide for helping to facilitate the natural movement of a breech baby into a proper birthing position.
