Empowerment Through Knowledge in Menopause Doula Training with Shaunacy King
In an engaging conversation with Shaunacy King, we explore the unique and underrated world of menopause doula training. Shaunacy is a seasoned reproductive support practitioner and busy entrepreneur of nearly 20 years.
She is the former director of Doula Training Canada, creator of the Menopause Doula Program.
And, while still actively involved in delivering and growing the menopause doula training to students worldwide, Shaunacy’s main focus is in the field of psychotherapy. As a registered psychotherapist, Shaunacy specializes in sex therapy, reproductive support, anxiety concerns, and complex trauma.
In our chat, Shaunacy shares the rationale behind establishing a comprehensive program for training menopause doulas in Canada. Her drive comes from observing the lack of accessible and supportive information for women going through perimenopause and menopause, and the negative narrative surrounding it.
Shaunacy emphasizes the importance of providing unbiased, client-centered support, and empowering women through knowledge.
