The Childbearing Year
|
 |
A series of hands-on, informative classes designed to guide expectant families from early pregnancy, through labor and birth, and into the first few months of parenting.
Founded on the philosophy of freedom of choice based on the understanding of
alternatives, our curriculum draws from the best of all childbirth methods
including "Active Birth", "Lamaze", "Birthing From Within", "Bradley",
and "Hypnobirthing".

Birth Doula Training
|
|
This three-day, comprehensive training is designed to give you a strong foundation to
begin your own doula practice. This is a DONA (Doulas of North America)-approved training.
Some of the trainings are also approved for ICEA contact hours.
As a companion for laboring women, you will learn to nurture the innate strength and courage that lies
within each woman to create a positive memory of her birth and ease the transition into her new parenting role.
|
Postpartum Doula Training
|
|
Because mothers need mothering too, postpartum doulas are trained to make the postpartum
experience as smooth as possible for the new family. You will gain skills and an
understanding of breastfeeding support, normal newborn behavior, the body�s postpartum
processes, community resources, etc. With these skills and your own nurturing abilities, a family will transition into their new parenting role with ease.

Advanced Doula Training
|
|
Supporting Survivors of Abuse
Do you feel like you understand the basics of supporting women in labor yet you
want to expand your skills for situations that require more in depth knowledge
and counseling abilities? This one day advanced doula training is designed
specifically to help you support survivors of sexual abuse or previous traumatic
birth experiences. You will learn to help your client define her personal
triggers and develop strategies to assure a more positive birth experience.
|
Hosting a Training
|
|
Perhaps you feel there is a need for more birth or postpartum doulas in your area. Or,
your city may have experienced doulas who are already practicing but need to update
their education and receive contact hours for continuing education. Rather than the
expense of everyone traveling to a training, custom design a curriculum of topics
especially pertinent to your region or bring a DONA-approved trainer to your area and
receive a free registration for coordinating the program.
