Birth Doula Certification
The goal of this training
The goal of this training is to prepare professional women to accompany the families with a strong coherence between the traditional medicine and the contemporary knowledge in which traditions and academic studies converge in balance to respond to women’s needs with emotional intelligence, wisdom, knowledge and intuition as birth doulas.
