After our sold-out Doula Training course in June, we are excited to announce we will be hosting another Birth Doula training workshop this September!

Toronto Yoga Mamas has partnered with Stefanie Antunes from Discover Birth to offer another DONA-approved birth doula training workshop in Toronto from September 05-07, 2014.

Anyone who has a willingness to help women through birth can become a birth doula. Though it’s helpful, it’s not necessary to have a background in health or medicine. Keep in mind that a doula is a non-medical professional.
