Doula Training & Certification Program
During the one day workshop, students will learn:
What exactly is a doula? What is her role?
Why would an expecting family need a doula?
How a doula can provide support through education, physical/emotional help, and advocacy--through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum
How a doula can be a huge asset to expecting dads
Things to consider in special circumstances: VBAC, planned epidurals, cesarean birth, out-of-hospital birth, etc.
A wide array of comfort techniques to help you feel confident in your ability to provide excellent physical support during labor
How to help your client feel empowered--even when things go differently than planned
How to start your doula practice and other business tips and considerations
And much, much more!
