Birth Doula Workshops

For complete information about DONA International Birth Doula Certification: www.dona.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/Certification-Overview-Birth-1.pdf
Details can be found in the Services section.
  • Must meet all doula training prerequisites:  DONA Reading List which can be found on this link: www.dona.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/Certification-Overview-Birth-1.pdf. .
  • This workshop assumes a basic knowledge of pregnancy and childbirth either as a childbirth educator, nurse with labor and delivery experience, or through midwifery.  If you do not have this background, you must audit a childbirth class series of at least 12 hours of education time (not as a pregnant woman) taught by a nationally certified instructor before this workshop. Or you can attend an Introduction to Childbirth For Doulas day  taught by a DONA International Approved Birth Doula Trainer.  I offer this class the day prior to the workshop.
  • ​The DONA Birth Doula Workshop provides one step toward DONA Birth Doula Certification.

DONA Birth Doula Workshops: Location/Dates
My workshops will be in person workshops as I believe in-person is the best way to train to be a doula.  You may find other trainers that will offer a virtual workshop if that is your preference.
