Welcome to newbornbreath.com

The official website for Karen Strange, Certified Professional Midwife, AAP/NRP Neonatal Resuscitation instructor and advocate for the conscious and aware prenate.

Currently offering 3 types of workshops. All of which fullfill your NRP Card requirements, meaning you get the card for taking and passing this course.

<more details here on the Workshops page>

newbornbreath.com is the culmination of Karen Strange's years of experience and unique insight into the prenatal and birth process. This site is dedicated to supporting her efforts, here you will find useful information and a current schedule of Karen's Workshops.

No matter what your level of knowing is, be it as a birth attendant, therapist, doctor or parent you will learn a totally NEW paradigm of what happens at birth on a physical, psychological and emotional level.

  • Karen Strange will be holding her regular full day resuscitation workshop as well as the new long awaited for, renewal workshop in resuscitation covering the latest from NRP, the evidence based updates and studies regarding such specifics as the use of 100% O2 in the resuscitation of newborn babies, suctioning for babies born through meconium stained waters, etc.
  • She will demonstrate and present a clear understanding of neonatal transitional physiology. Just how babies clear the fluid from their the lungs in the birth process.
  • She covers much more than the normal hospital based AAP/NRP course as most of her attendants work in the out of the hospital setting and more needs to be covered though everything applies to anywhere birth happens.
  • Karen teaches the class with an understanding of, and tools for the fear that comes up at a resuscitation. The class is taught in a way that supports how skills are delivered in an emergency. This comes from an understanding that "it is not only what you do that matters but how you are inside yourself"
  • The class covers the inherent wisdom embedded in birth.....physical, psychological and emotional.
  • She shares her "SImple Tools" for helping babies integrate what has happened when things do not go as planned, such as in a resuscitation, a long labor, or some intervention.
   
       

 

What People Say About Karen's Workshops

“Karen’s approach to neonatal resuscitation gave me the technical information and skills I need to help a newborn in distress, but her course gave me much more than that. She brought insight and awareness into the baby’s experience of that once in a lifetime event. I am more gentle and mindful at each birth because of Karen’s advocacy for the baby’s total well being.”
-Heidi Rhinehart, MD, FACOG

“I finished the day feeling not only better equipped to deal with neonatal resuscitation, but renewed and inspired in the practice of obstetric care. I would eagerly participate in future programs that Ms. Strange offered and would strongly recommend her course to others. I believe her approach equally beneficial to a variety of practitioners including midwives, MDs, EMTs, nurses, medical students and residents.”
-Kirsten L. Searfus, M.D.
Assist. Clinical Professor of Family Medicine
University of California, San Diego

“After taking Ms. Strange’s course, several of our staff midwives have consciously changed their practices of neonatal management in ways that enhance and respect the newborn, as well as support a less aggressive, violent interaction in the transition period. I attribute this successful outcome to the quality and style of Ms. Strange’s teacing. She is very effective in communicating and imparting an understanding and respect for the process of resuscitation that compels participants to rethink their current practices.
-Susan Cassel, CNM, MSN
OB/GYN Clinic, UCSD

“Karen is brilliant and has a very complex understanding of NRP. The whole perinatal psychology aspect goes way beyond [learning objectives]. “
– Philly Attendant

“This is 3rd/4th class with Karen Strange. Best ever. - Blossom Birth Class
Hard to imagine [anything to make the presentation more effective]; it’s so well refined. Great job, Karen!”
– Palo Alto, CA Attendant
