Become a doula through….
Compassion
Become a doula by providing holistic care. Doulas provide for the full range (emotional, social, esteem, and physical) needs that a birthing woman and her family experiences during the birthing process. This allows your compassion to take flight.
Respect
Research supports improved results in birth with the presence of a trained doula as a part of the birth team. Evidence-based care is a driving principle in your training to learn best practices of labor support. This earns the respect of peers and medical personnel.
Confident
When doctors, midwives, nurses, and doulas communicate openly about a woman’s needs during labor, outcomes improve. Being able to communicate comfortably in any environment (especially a medical one) is key for the doula to confidently complete their work.
Valuable
Hand-in-hand with holistic care comes the ability to identify the specific and wide-ranging needs of an expectant mother. Knowing what to look for and when to look for it is at the core of effective assessment. Your value will be recognized as you implement your newly learned skills and education.
