This free online course explains how a professional birth doula assists their clients before, during and after labour. Pregnancy and childbirth are overwhelming times for parents and they need all the care and support available to make birth a safe, healthy and fulfilling experience. A doula is a trained childbirth professional that can provide such support. In this course, we lay out the roles of a birth doula during pregnancy, childbirth and the postpartum period to provide the training you require that improves both your medical and communication skills.
