During these times women need reassurance and information. They also need support, both physical and emotional – even spiritual. They need the type of insight and advice that only another woman can provide. A doula provides all this and more such as empathy, compassion, strength, understanding and empowerment. A birth doula is a non-medical labor assistant whose role is to comfort and support the mother and father during birth. I want you to walk away from the course feeling empowered enough to provide this service to whomever you see fit, but Black women are needing it the most. ***Certificate of completion at the end of the third day of the course.*** All sales are finale!
