Each of these trainings works the same. We will begin day 1 on a Saturday, and finish up Day 2 on Sunday. At the end of the training, you will be considered a pre-certified doula! You'll go home with a "Doula To-Do" list that outlines your next steps which includes a certification exam, requirement for First Aid/CPR certification, and more. All you have to do is find a weekend that works with your schedule, sign up, and I'll walk you through the rest.
My trainings are modern, comprehensive, and fun!
