The Missing Link in Professional Care: A Doctor and a Doula Discuss FAE Certification
A Justisse Webinar Featuring Anne Liljedahl, MD and Darcie Black
What happens when a medical doctor in Sweden and a birth doula both realize their professional training had a significant gap? They turn to Body Literacy.
Join us for a unique conversation with two Justisse graduates who represent the full spectrum of healthcare systems. We will explore how the Fertility Awareness Educator (FAE) certification provides a universal "language of the body" that enhances clinical outcomes and deepens client trust.
The Speakers
The Clinical Visionary: Anne Liljedahl, MD.
As a Medical Doctor in Sweden, a Justisse Board Member, and a program graduate, Anne bridges the gap between conventional medicine and menstrual cycle literacy. She will share why FAEs are essential to the global healthcare shift and how this training transformed her medical practice.
The Community Advocate: Darcie Black.
As a professional Doula and Justisse graduate, Darcie brings "boots-on-the-ground" stories of how certification redefined her role, allowing her to offer a level of reproductive support that goes far beyond traditional birth work.
The Conversation
Moderated by a Justisse Faculty Member, this session moves beyond the basics of charting. Our speakers will dive deep into the heart of our mission, exploring:
The Ripple Effect: How "menstrual cycle literacy" changes the world on a macro level, and how it changes a client’s day-to-day life on a micro level.
Overcoming Hurdles: Identifying the biggest sociocultural barriers to reproductive autonomy and how the FAE role provides the tools to jump them.
The 10-Year Vision: A look at how our entire healthcare systems could be transformed if body literacy became the universal standard of care
