INSTRUCTOR:
Lorenza Holt, MPH, BCCE, SPB, BDT(DONA)
COURSE WILL OFFER COMPREHRENSIVE INTERACTIVE LEARNING ON:
We want all students to complete the course feeling fully confident and prepared to provide doula support to birthing women. For this reason, I am teaching a 26 hour course over 4 full days. I believe that this structure and pace will give students time to read the manual in between sessions, continue reading the required books, refelect on what they are learning, ask questions, and prepare homework. This will help assure that all students gain a deeper understanding of the material.
This course will prepare you to be a birth doula. It will not cover the content of a childbirth education class or breastfeeding fundamentals. Applicants are expected to come with a fundamental understanding of pregnancy, labor and birth, the associated medical vocabulary, common interventions, common complications and standard obstetrical technology.
The following prerequisites will give participants the foundation the training requires, as well as meet the requirement for certification with DONA International.
Please contact us before registering if you have questions about how we can help you gain the fundamental knowledge needed to be a birth doula, as well as meet and complete the prerequisites.
