Writing Your Birth Story Course for Birthworkers

Birthworkers, Give Your Clients A Lifelong Gift

As a birth professional, you know how much birth stories matter—and how important it is for people to memorialize and process their births.  My easy, trauma-informed method will give your clients an easy, effective way to do just that.  It’s called the Writing Your Birth Story Course! 

If you’re a doula (birth, postpartum, or full-spectrum), midwife, or other birth professional, set yourself and your practice apart by offering the Writing Your Birth Story Course as part of your service packages.

"I highly recommend the Writing Your Birth Story course! This course goes well beyond providing you with a helpful foundation and questions to unlock your story. You're supplied with resources and tools to tell your story and process through all you experienced. If you've wanted to write your birth story but didn't know where to start, take this course today!

My Story

I’m Carrie Murphy, a professional writer and experienced doula

I have an MFA in Creative Writing, am the author of two full-length books of poetry, and have published dozens of articles about pregnancy and birth in national publications like ELLE, Women’s Health, Parents, and more. 

But when I sat down to write my own story after my son’s birth in 2018, I didn’t know how to start. I’d been steeped in both writing and birth for years, but tackling my own story felt overwhelming. I wanted to capture the power of my experience and get it exactly right, for both me and my baby.

I knew other parents were struggling with the same feelings—wanting to write a great birth story for themselves and their families, but confused, time-strapped, or  just plain stuck on how to get going or how to do the experience justice.

So, the How To Write Your Birth Story course was born!

I combine my experience as a doula and background in creative writing in a simple, streamlined process that helps birthing people find and express the truth of their experiences. 

"Every detail of the course has been intentionally laid out to consider the variety of experiences people have from conception into parenthood. The thoughtful prompts are inclusive of folks of a variety of identities, family structures, and birth outcomes —and you don't need to be a strong writer to make use of them. As a birth professional, I am excited to offer this course to my clients, and to have another tool in my toolbox for providing extended, substantial, meaningful support to those I serve."​

The Course Includes:

✔️ 9 writing exercises designed to get you in touch with the truth of your birth

✔️ 70+ questions/prompts

✔️ 40+ examples of birth stories to read as inspiration

✔️ Options and suggestions to make sure your writing feels like you—not a template

✔️ Grounding and centering practices to get you in the mindset for writing 

✔️ Information on and resources for birth trauma

✔️ Ideas on how to share and memorialize your birth story forever
