This past weekend I spent 22 hours doing my DONA birth doula training. It was a fabulous experience. Although this was the first session these trainers have done, I thought they did a great job. They kept the topics short and interesting and made sure that there was plenty of time for interacting, so we didn't get bored or too overwhelmed. I trained with 5 other ladies and I think we're all excited to start doula-ing people.
I am very excited about many of the comfort techniques and positions we learned about and I'm just itching for my first birth. I'm still finishing up my official website, but hope to have it ready to publish by the time I get back from vacation next weekend. Ideally, I'll find a couple of families that are due this summer. I'd love to be able to finish my certification by the end of this year.
Time to log off here and go back to my website editing. More to come when I am up and running or when I connect with my first clients!
