Hi there hopeful and experienced birth workers!
Thank you so much for your interest in this Postpartum Doula Certification Workshop. Jess Leonne CBE, CBD and I (Sarah Fairlight Chase CPM, LDEM) have been curating this over the last 3 years and are beyond excited for you to become a part of the next powerful wave of postpartum doulas. This informative and community building class will be done in small groups with lots of opportunity to ask questions and participate. Each class will have a 6 month time frame to be completed in and will have three parts. One being a required reading list and book report section, 2 mandatory postpartum doula hours and CPR certification and 3 the in person hands on workshop (skills based) that will be held in Northern Utah.
We know how we all envision the community that surrounds birthwork with lovely people gathered round while we all talk about birth and bond. We want that to be a reality for the students coming into these classes. We want to help create a slow learning environment that you can start and stop when needed and that has an actual certification at the end, so you can see the movement you are making on your path to being a Certified Postpartum Doula.
Details:
These are first come, first served classes. So once they are filled you will have to wait until the next time that class is offered. The whole course is $795 and includes a full day of in-person training with a lunch included. Each student will have around 6 months to complete all three sections, extensions will be accepted on a personal basis and will have an additional fee of $100. The workshop portion will be done in person and will include a teaching lecture, business do’s and don’t, ethics, cultural competence and hands on skills along with much more. If you need to reschedule your workshop day it will be granted on a personal basis and can carry an additional charge. Each workshop day will have a lunch break with plenty of opportunity to mingle and connect. All attendees can agree to be photographed and to be included in social media and advertising, waivers to be signed in class.
Hope to hear from you soon!
