About the Course
As a Doula, you will be able to work teaching your own classes in hospitals, birth centers, pregnancy clinics, community programs and more! You will gain everything you need during the training to start your own private practice and begin taking your own doula clients immediately. There are ample routes you may choose to take with your certification based on your own unique talents and passions. Birth and infant care professionals will often use this certification to compliment their services. This training is designed for both support, care providers and lay people who want to consistently provide evidence based and up-to-date information about the physiological process of childbirth to families.
We will cover the following:

+ Golden hour support and guidance
+ And much more!!
Students receive all of the necessary materials to including required workbook, badge, childbirth education tools, etc. You will leave the training ready to take on your very first Childbirth Education class or Prenatal Visit confidently.
