About Birth Arts International... 

spring%2007%20018.jpg

Birth Arts Doula Trainings are open to anyone interested in learning to support women through pregnancy, birth, and immediate postpartum. This workshop is perfect for aspiring doulas, aspiring midwives, nurses, childbirth educators, college students, parents, and more. 

The Birth Arts Doula Training balances evidence-based research on best maternity care practices with intuition, women's wisdom and traditional midwifery. We empower women to become doulas through our intensive course, which include a residential weekend workshop, ongoing mentoring, distance course work, and a Birth Arts Doula certification option.

Learn to support women giving birth at home, hospitals, and birth centers. Learn techniques to comfort women in labor, including massage, rebozo, touch, position, relaxation, and movement. Connect with others who are passionate about advocating for mothers, babies, and families!
