Virtual Holistic Doula : Pregnancy, Birth, Postpartum

Description

Every Birth worker is unique and brings with them a unique set of skills. As a birth worker since 2014, I've focused on grounding, breathing techniques, herbal remedies and nutritional knowledge to help moms during pregnancy and postpartum. If you've been looking for a way to become a Doula on your own time, are interested in birth information OR are pregnant yourself, this course was made with you in mind! In the course I provide lists of books and resources, many links to videos and examples as well as journal prompts, exercises and activities. 

As a Doula and birth assistant for over 10 years, I have seen first hand the impact that Doulas have on birth outcomes, especially among Black, Hispanic & Indigenous women. According to the CDC, Black, Hispanic & Indigenous women are more likely to die from birth or postpartum complications. This disparity exists across all levels of education, income & age. This is due to gross negligence, systemic racism, bias and lack of care. I've created this course with the goal of having at least one family member in each family be a Doula. A Holistic Doula can improve the mortality rates by being a third party witness and providing individualized, culturally sensitive care (who better to do this than someone you trust like a best friend, sister, cousin etc?)

This Online Holistic Doula Course includes information for fertility, pregnancy, birth and postpartum as they relate to the mind, body and spirit. I encourage future Doulas and new moms alike to take this course for resources, books, activities and traditional information on nutrition, spirituality and pain management all in one place.

Doulas are NON-medical compassionate professionals & bring with them a wealth of information. This course was made for women helping women (or themselves!) prepare for pregnancy, birth, and/or postpartum. Complete with modules, exercises and activities that can be completed from anywhere and at anytime!
