DONA Postpartum Doula Certification Checklist
The Postpartum Doula Workshop is ideal for anyone who has a passion for working with babies, nurturing families, and building capacity in others.  

This postpartum doula training is being held online. The doula workshop will teach the skills necessary to support families during the first three months as they ease into their new roles, and will focus on normal newborn behaviours and cues, postpartum adjustment, and typical questions and concerns that new families may experience. At the completion of the workshop, participants will receive a Postpartum Doula Certificate, and can begin to work with families as soon as they feel confident in doing so.

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 19 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.

The Life of a Postpartum Doula

Picture
"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

Doula Training 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.

A Note About yoga Mamas' Cancellation Policies

Please note that we do not offer refunds. Each event/course/training/wellness appt has it's own specific cancellation policy which is listed on each registration page. Please take the time to read these in full prior to registering.  Each event/appointment that we run is in partnership with a practitioner who is focusing their independent career in prenatal and postpartum health. This is their beautiful livelihood. This is why we have these policies in place. Thank you very much for your understanding. Jamie Kalynuik, Founder of Yoga Mamas
