Doula Training
Postpartum Doula Training Workshop
DONA-Approved Postpartum Doula Training Workshop:
“Mother's Wisdom”
Vicki Hedley and Susan Esserman offer Postpartum Doula Training Workshops several times a year as one step in the process toward certification as a Postpartum Doula by DONA International (DONA®). The workshop is experiential and interactive, offering participants a broad-based learning experience. Participants learn in an environment that fosters self-growth while providing both didactic and hands-on experience.
During the workshop participants will gain in-depth knowledge about the role of a doula during the postpartum period as well as a personal understanding of the emotions and spiritual nature of birth and life with a newborn.
Vicki and Susan bring to their teaching a love of pregnancy, birth, women and babies and a belief in the innate ability of each woman to birth and parent in her own unique way. At the same time, they respect a new mother’s level of comfort and knowledge. It is their desire to foster this same belief and respect in workshop participants.
If you share these beliefs and would like to work with women and their families to help them more fully enjoy the early weeks with their new baby, you may want to consider becoming a postpartum doula, providing physical, emotional, and informational support to the family just after childbirth.
Contact Seventh Moon for additional information on pre-requisites and upcoming dates for our workshops. On-Line registration is available.
