By Tine Reese
August 17, 2010This blog post was submitted by Melanie Bailey. She is organizing a DONA Birth Doula Training to take place in Spokane this October. She needs at least 10 people to register for the training in order to bring the beloved Tamy Roloff here as the instructor. Please read the info below, download the registration brochure and mail it in. We need more doulas in Spokane as the number of families choosing natural birth continues to rise!

Hi Reannan. As far as I know there isn’t another doula training scheduled…Bloom Spokane did not organize this one, but helped to promote it. Perhaps this is something we will do in the future. For now, I’d suggest following us on Facebook since we update the page almost daily with announcements about local birth-related events, classes and news. http://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=h#!/pages/Bloom/152968684715504
My friend and I are interested in taking this course if it is offered in Spokane again. I’m sad we missed it this year. I didn’t know about it til I found Bloom.
Courtney,
I believe one of our local childbirth educators is going to orchestrate another doula training here in the near future. As soon as I have confirmation, I will let you know. I’m happy to see that there is so much local interest in becoming a birth doula. This is a good sign for our community!
