Shadowing experience before certification
HIPAA, boundaries, and professionalism built in.
Training youth into maternal careers.
As a midwife I believe that providing accurate, evidence-based information really sets parents up for having adequate tools for the pregnancy, birth, and postpartum period so it was refreshing to see how this program really prepared future doulas to be able to do just that. -Doniece Tally (Midiwife CPM,LM)
This experience for me has been nothing but exciting. Between learning new techniques and information to actual becoming hands on is just all surreal. I recommend that everyone takes this program. -Ashanti Sanders (Birth Culture Certified Doula)
