Certified Doula Training
Become a qualified Doula and start offering support and empowerment to parents.
course description
Educate, support, and guide Parents through pregnancy and beyond...
Doula -ing is about bringing together birth knowledge and building relationships with Parents and other birth workers to create a cohesive support system where Parents can gain confidence during each of the four trimesters of their journey. Therefore, becoming a Doula not only requires extensive knowledge of the birth process but also of the care system the Parents decide to birth within.
What to Expect on The Course
These two modules are designed to sit alongside / tag onto, the Foundation, the Extended or Advanced Diploma in Antenatal and Hypnobirthing Education, rather than a standalone qualification. This is because you need to have the knowledge and skills contained in the Diplomas to be a fabulous Doula!
If you are already a Midwife or Childbirth Educator you can do this course as a stand alone option.
