9 a.m. - 5 p.m. ET
Challenge yourself to learn more about birth by exploring what it takes to become a certified birth doula helping women and their families through birth. A birth doula is a well-trained person who assists families during the birth of their baby. This workshop prepares a person to work as a doula in hospitals, birth centers, and home births.
Topics covered include:
- Doula Business Basics
- Finding Clients
- Labor Positioning
- Non-Pharmacological Pain Relief and Comfort Measures (including methods like birth balls, heat and cold, etc.)
- Supporting the Emotional Needs of the Family
- Epidural Anesthesia and the Doula Role in Supporting Families
- Cesarean Birth and the Doula's Role
- How to Become a Certified Doula
- Assisting with Information Gathering
- Introduction to Childbirth Workshop
- Breastfeeding for Birth Professionals Workshop
- and much, much more!
After the workshop, you are also invited to join a private community of my alumni doulas. We offer a discussion board and monthly meetings to help you with your business goals and doula questions. This post-workshop support has proven to be an invaluable asset to the doulas who take the training.
When registering please be sure to put your shipping address. Items will be mailed to this address.
This is a birth doula workshop approved by DONA International as one step in the process of becoming a certified birth doula.
This workshop is scheduled as a virtual event.
