At The Matrona, we believe that birth is a sacred and
transformative experience, and we teach midwifery, doula
trainings, and women's arts in a sacred manner.  We believe
that the knowledge of birth and healing belongs to everyone,
and is an integral part of our heritage.

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.

The cost is $600 for the series.  Certification is available for
an additional fee, on attendance of all classes and fulfillment
of requirements listed
here.

Use the navigation bar above to explore our
curriculum, and the
suggested/required
reading lists.  You can also find out more
regarding
certification requirements, and print out necessary
forms.  Finally, you can meet our instructors, who have nearly
four decades of cumulative experience, apprenticing with birth.

Our programs travel!  Whapio and Eileen are available to
offer a Holistic Doula Series in your area.  We usually offer
a once-a-month series; however, a week-long series may be
possible if we live outside of driving distance.  Call us to set
up a training in your area!  Or

programs offered by Matrona graduates and colleagues.

We look forward to meeting you.
