Four or Five Day Course offers comprehensive interactive learning on:

  • The significance of birth across cultures
  • The benefits of doula support
  • How to work with the mother’s medical team
  • Providing comfort and emotional support during all stages of labor, including difficult labors, cesarean births and VBACs
  • How to build a trusting and meaningful relationship with mom and her family during pregnancy, labor, birth, and the first weeks postpartum
  • Supporting newborns
  • Overview of breastfeeding
  • DONA International’s Code of Ethics, Standards of Practice and additional required steps to certification as a DONA Int’l Birth Doula

WHY A FOUR-FIVE DAY TRAINING?

We want all students to complete the course feeling fully confident and prepared to provide doula support to birthing women. For this reason, we are teaching a 26-32.5 hour course over 4-5 full days of training. We believe that this structure and pace will give students time to read the manual in between sessions, continue reading books on the required book list, ponder what they are learning, ask questions, prepare homework, and hopefully gain a deeper understanding of the material. Trainings that take place over one weekend are time efficient, but we want to provide an option for those students who prefer an expanded format with more time to own the material.

NOTE: DONA International doula certification requires additional steps. Please see the DONA website for details.
