Welcome!
This an in person Birth Doula Training diving deep into how to hold the container of birth, along with studying the 4 pillars of doula support: Education, Physical (hands on), Advocacy, and Emotional support.
Taught over the course of 4 full days in Longmont, Colorado.
Training modalities include: Participation in live lectures with Haley and additional guest lecturers on the ins-and-outs of working with mamas in this transformative time.Doula Training: You will learn about pregnancy and birth support, how to conduct client visits, hands-on labor support, how to resource your clients, how to manage your life and schedule as a doula, and MORE!
A book list and manual will be provided for the course and will help you stay resourced as you set up your doula practice and your business as a doula. -
Training as a birth doula will not only equip you with an incredible amount of knowledge to support pregnant and birthing mamas, but you'll also leave set up to build a successful business. One of the hardest parts of becoming a doula is finding consistent clients. We will spend additional time looking at the ins and outs of running a successful doula business.
Additionally, many doula trainings do not address how to manage your life as a doula. We will dive deep into how to not only build your business but also the body (your body) to hold it all. This includes managing an on-call schedule, nervous system support, daily practice rituals, building community...all of the things that are typically only learned after years of practicing (or maybe not at all!)
