BIRTH DOULA TRAINING RETREAT
Learn to Mother the Mother
Are you an aspiring doula? Thinking about embarking on a more fulfilling and exciting career? Do you love birth, babies and everything that goes along with it? Imagine witnessing the miracle of birth happen right before your eyes. Imagine entering a sacred sisterhood that will nourish and support you while you grow your business. Imagine assisting in a gentler entry to life, thereby changing the world one birth at a time. The word doula comes from ancient Greek, meaning “a woman who serves.” Over 20 years of research on doula work has shown the effectiveness and benefits of doula care, such as fewer cesareans, shorter labors, fewer instrumental deliveries, less need for pain medication and improved maternal mental health. But doula work doesn’t only enhance outcomes for mother and baby, it’s also one of the most rewarding and fast-growing careers. If you can imagine it, we can make it happen. Join us for a one-of-a-kind 7-night/8-day birth doula training in gorgeous Maui!
