Course Information
The birth and post natal doula:
We deliver, under a training partnership with Re:Viva First Aid and Resuscitation, the only nationally accredited Doula Training in Australia: Certificate IV in Doula Support Services (NTIS code 91494NSW).
This very special, professional and comprehensive doula training course
makes the magic world of birth doula-ring come alive. In 20 lessons, covering the specialist units of the Cert IV, you
will become aware of your core beliefs about birth and the way that can
impact on you and your clients.
Our doula training will prepare you to
become an outstanding doula and how to meet your own needs and the
needs of your clients. You will discover how to help your clients
prepare for an empowering birth, understand what empowers or
disempowers a birthing woman, and how to help her to bond deeply with
her newborn baby. The doula training sessions show you how to create a
good working relationship with your clients. You will learn how to deal
with difficult situations and how to support your clients through the
first weeks after birth.
To gain your certificate, doula trainees will need to complete the follow requirements:
- Complete pre-course information sheet and all assignments
- Attend 2-terms of ten weeks training (80 hrs of face to face training)
- Support at least 3 births as a doula in training
- Develop resources list for pregnant women and new parents
- Applied First Aid (formally, senior first aid)
- Demonstrate openness and ability to integrate knowledge and feelings
Our doula training will increase your knowledge of
the natural process of birth, and the options offered to women both at
home and in hospital. It will also improve your understanding of the
needs of mother and baby.
It will give you the means to distinguish between
traditional myth and real opportunities, and the needs of mothers. This
will be a turning point in your understanding of physical, emotional
and spiritual issues of childbirth.
You will receive weekly course material to work on
during class and various homework assignments. Setting aside between
2-4 hours should cover the reading and homework.
