Top 12 Reasons to Attend a Doula Workshop

I am privileged to teach, dance and connect with the circle of doulas all over the world. Being a doula is universal language – like a smile – the gentle supportive role can cross nations, cultures and languages.

Labor support, comfort, and the nurturing of mothers, fathers and partners during one of their most vulnerable and yet their most powerful life moments is an honor. I do believe that just by holding a mother’s space during labor that you are giving her an amazing gift. That said, I also believe that being a trained DONA doula gives you an amazing base of knowledge and understanding that will deepen your understanding of ways to support and honor the sacred time that is birth.[Tweet “12 Top Reasons You Should Attend a Doula Workshop!”]
