From Whapio....
Our usual Holistic Doula Program is an 8-day, one weekend a month for 4 weekends series. However, because I am leaving the West Coast in December 2011, I am offering a special Holistic Doula Certification Program in October and November.
On our logistics page you can find all the information you need about the upcoming Olympia program. If you have any questions, email me at belovedpilgrim_yahoo.com
As a midwife for the past 28 years, my colleagues and I have worked long and hard to effect changes in the childbirth practices of our culture. We have valued choice and autonomy for mothers and families and have respected a womans ability to give birth without interference. I firmly believe that it is the generation of NOW...you who are reading this...that will return birth to its place as a transformative rite of self direction and power as women and families embark on the amazing journey of parenthood.
Our Holistic Doula Training Program is expansive in scope and is a complete program for exploring the childbearing continuum. It consists of a series of four weekend classes with emphasis on deepening the knowledge of childbirth. In addition to providing you with a thorough (and holistic) understanding of labor and birth, we cover basic anatomy and physiology, sexual wisdom, postpartum and the newborn, breastfeeding, and homeopathy and herbs for the childbearing year - - all in the holistic paradigm. This program can enhance any existing doula training you may have, as well as prepare you for the birth of your own child.
