2 Day Natural Childbirth Doula Training


When: July 23 (4pm-8pm) & July 24 (10am-5pm)
Where: Life Cycles Center, 289 Summer St. Buffalo, NY 14222
Cost: $225

• What is a doula? What is our role?
What is Natural Childbirth?
How does a doula affect a woman's birth?
When is the best time to step in and support a birthing woman and when is it best to be silent, an invisible doula?
How do we work with the birthing community; Midwives and OBs?


This is a comprehensive doula training for the experienced or new doula. It will take an exploratory look at how each of us brings a particular quality to birth by understanding our own histories related to birth. This is a hands-on, participatory workshop. There is a required application and some pre-reading materials. Barb Haney, an experienced doula and Eileen Stewart, CNM will give the workshop.
