Curious about what it is like to take a doula training? What types of things you will learn, what the atmosphere is like? Read a recent testimonial that was shared with us from one of Debra’s trainings
The training exceeded my expectations. I now know how to be a great Birth and Postpartum Doula. The information and literature was extremely helpful and invigorating. I learned about the joys and challenges that may arise during the mother’s transition into motherhood when she arrives home from the hospital and how important my role is as a Postpartum Doula.
The instructor was awesome. She was knowledgeable, and explained everything in detail to us. Debra did various demonstrations and so did we, which made the class so exciting. Some nights we had homework and everyone was eager to present the next day. Our instructor shared her experiences of being a Doula with us, the good, the bad, the indifferent and we were just in awe at the stories she told us. She was uplifting and empowering. We also learned the Business aspect of being a Doula; such as ensuring our paperwork is accurate and in order and to take good notes at all times and over all how important documentation is. We also received marketing tips on how to present ourselves to the public. I have a clear understanding of how to obtain my certification, which I am looking forward to.
Lastly, I had the distinct honor and pleasure of being in the midst of such beautiful women of all cultures they were, kind, giving, talented, wise, intelligent, funny and grateful. The room was filled with love. Love for the lives that we will touch as Doulas. We shared stories of motherhood, recipes, resources, smiles, tears and laughter. We bonded and are now Doula sisters.
Again thank you I am truly Grateful,
