Testimonials

"Trena's facilitation style is interactive and her experience level allows participants to learn a diversity of skills. She brings professionalism, a deep knowledge of how to best support families, as well as her welcoming personality to all that she does. It is because of her coaching and mentoring that I was able to develop the confidence to start my practice as a doula." - Ashley, Birth and Postpartum Doula


"Trena's classes offer a very interactive learning approach. Her knowledge and passion for parents and birth are very contagious. She makes the students feel very valued and goes above and beyond the class setting to offer her guidance." - Darla, Birth and Postpartum Doula

"Trena is just all around great. Her passion for this shows in her teaching, and she knows how to keep everyone
engaged because of how passionate she is about the information. I had the best week with Trena and I hope to do
more courses/learning with her in the future!"

"Trena was amazing!!!! So clear and concise and her passion is evident. I totally enjoyed everything about how she trained us. Kahoot is the best. I learned so much and it was fun. I would take any training offered my Trena. She nurtured us into the Doulas we will become. I felt supported and listened to during this training."

About Our Doula Trainer

Picture
Trena Gallant is a Fellow of the Academy of Certified Childbirth educators, a DONA Approved Birth and Postpartum Doula Trainer, Infant Massage Instructor, Certified Sleep Educator, Child passenger safety technician and Hypnobirthing Practitioner. Her passion for birth and babies began at a very young age, when she frequently offered her family pets doula support (much to their dismay), and helped care for the many foster babies who her parents welcomed into their home.

After graduating with her Bachelor of Arts, she began pursuing her education in birth and postpartum, and has been educating and supporting families in groups and individually for over 17 years. In addition to supporting families, Trena felt drawn to adult education, and went on to become a Birth and Postpartum Doula Trainer, and established one of only 24 Lamaze Educator programs in the world. ​Despite her many years of formal education, her most influential teachers continue to be her partner and their four amazing children.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I become certified by attending a training workshop? 
No - but it is one component of the certification process. 

​I need to miss some training is that ok? 
DONA requires your video to be turned on for the entire duration of the course in order to qualify for certification. You may be able to do a make-up assignment to make up for missed time but this must be addressed with your trainer 7 days prior to the start of training.

What DONA materials do I get with the Birth or Postpartum training? 
You receive access to the DONA digital resource manual a few days before your training. The portal is called Sharevault. Your trainer Trena will give you this information via email.

When will I receive the zoom meeting link to join? 
Your trainer Trena will email you a few days before the training with the zoom meeting information. 

My training starts tomorrow and I haven’t received the DONA resource manual - what do I do? 
Let Trena know you have not yet received it, email [email protected]. 
You won’t need access to the manual for the training - so don’t worry. There are lots of great resources for you to review afterwards, but you won’t need the manual to follow along. 

I haven’t finished my required reading before the training, is that ok? 
Yes - it is recommended that you read something from the required reading list ESPECIALLY if you have no context or background knowledge in birth or postpartum. 
You WILL be required to read the books if you choose to complete the certification process. 

Is there anything I need to know about attending the training online? 
Yes - DONA requires your video to be turned on for the entire duration of the course in order to qualify for certification.

If I do the Combined Training, do I receive two certificates of completion? 
Yes - you will receive a Birth Doula Training certificate and a Postpartum Doula Training certificate. You must have your video turned on in order to receive the certificates.
