Birth Doula Training
October 13, 2023 @ 8:00 am - October 16, 2023 @ 5:00 pm
Join Jessica English from Heart Soul Birth Pros for a DONA birth doula training in Ann Arbor.
Here’s a quick look at the four days we’ll spend together:
• the basics of birth (even labor and delivery nurses tell us they take away new perspective and tips!)
• the doula’s role (and our special superpowers to impact the hormones of labor)
• massage and hands-on comfort measures
• becoming a great communicator (with clients and medical staff)
• a deep dive into being an effective advocate in the doula role
• physiologic birth and complicated births (pain medication, cesareans, etc.)
• ethics and scope of practice considerations
• supporting vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC)
• helping clients with malpositioned babies
• strategies for developing your business
