Birth Doulas are the latest addition to the maternity care team, assisting families to have both a safe and memorable birth. They provide physical comfort, emotional support, and information to families before, during and just after childbirth. The birth doula brings back a kind of care that’s been missing in modern childbirth.

This workshop focuses on the psychological, social and emotional aspects of childbirth, the Doula’s contribution to a positive birth experience, and providing labor support in a variety of circumstances. This course completes one step toward certification by DONA International.
Below are some of the topics we will be covering.

  • Long-term Impact of childbirth
  • Influence on Women’s Childbearing
  • The Doula’s Role and Presence
  • Physiologic Pain Management
  • Labor Progress Enhancement
  • Emotional Support of the Mother & Partner
  • Support and Advocacy for Difficult Births
  • Prenatal and Postnatal Client Contact
  • Professional Issues & Scope of Practice
  • Getting Started-Marketing Your Practice

Fee: $350

Kristen,
Thanks for letting us know you’ll be attending the doula training. How exciting! I will be posting another announcement about this training and hopefully we’ll hear from others in our area who will be attending too. Have you joined the Bloom group on Facebook? http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=95650456851

We currently have 79 members in the group and it would be a great place to ask about others going to the training.
