DONA International Birth Doula Training -Spanish Speakers

Picture
Intimate, heartwarming and deeply rewarding. This 3-day workshop lays the foundation for you to provide meaningful support to birthing families.  We’ll dive into the emotional, psychological and physical process of labor.  We explore your role as a doula at prenatal visits, during labor and birth and at the postpartum follow-up. Because I keep our group small, we have lots of time for hands-on practice and getting questions answered.
DONA International is the world’s first, largest and international doula certifying organization. This workshop completes two steps toward certification.
This workshop is also strongly recommended for those on a midwifery path.
For certification purposes, attendance at the entire workshop is required.
