Private Doula Training Retreat House
Maryland Doula Training Combo
​
This weekend is a rare opportunity for birth doula trainings in Maryland
to get both Labor Doula and EpiDoula trainings in a very efficient, entertaining and refreshing weekend, learning how to be a doula in Maryland:
​
Friday, 9am-6pm:
Labor Doula Focus
​
Saturday, 9am-6pm:
Continued Labor & EpiDoula Focus
(reducing complications & cesarean rates if epidural pain relief is utilized)
​
(click above to learn more about each program in this doula training in NYC)
​
Let's be honest, you won't be doing birth support work for very long before one of your clients will choose to utilize an epidural. This may or may not be part of their plan from the beginning, but it can happen - even for the most prepared, natural minded family. Unfortunately most doulas are not equipped to handle how birth changes when this intervention is used.
​
You will feel confident because of this training and you will be ready to truly help create better outcomes. YOU WILL BE THE DIFFERENCE MAKER!!
No other program exists that so thoroughly teaches you how to support laboring bodies influenced by this intervention. This workshop weekend will be more valuable to you than any books, courses or any other form of doula education you can get your hands on. You will find that you use these skills even for those clients who go all-natural, because they are based on Optimal Fetal Positioning and understanding the psyche of the laboring patient.
​
Learn from the best of the best
Trainers with decades of experience & success

She is dedicated to your growth and success, because then, more families will be reached and impacted and untold numbers of lives can be saved and healed. YOU are that doula caregiver who will make the difference.
