Great Expectations Doula Training
Do you feel the calling to support mothers through their childbirth journey? Do you have a passion for pregnancy and a desire to support this this transformative time in the life of a family? Do you have a deep desire to educate and empower the women around you to birth in a powerful and beautiful way (and help them to avoid birth trauma)?
​
Then this evidence based doula training course is for you. Register for the next session here.
Taught by a Registered Nurse (veteran Labor and Delivery Nurse) and doula of 20 years, this course has been developed through the review of another high-quality course (New Beginnings Doula Training) and helps to equip you with the knowledge and skills you need to support mothers in your local community. ​​
​
The course is taught over two weekends (Friday and Saturday). Additional requirements include prerequisite reading, creating resources lists, attending a birth class, completing implicit bias and cultural competence trainings, connecting with a mentor doula for a total of 12 months, and attending three births with birth packet submissions. Once your requirements are complete and we have a recommendation from your mentor doula, you certification is issued and is good for two years.
​
Cost for the two-weekend workshop is $500. At the time of registration, a $50 deposit is required. The balance is due on the first day of class.
​
Certification can be renewed every two years at a cost of $50. Requirements for recertification are attendance of 1 birth in the previous year and 20 continuing education credits in the pregnancy, labor, birth, or postpartum fields (CEUs can be obtained through independent online or in-person trainings).
​
If essential oils are to be used in practice, an Essential oil course is also required.
