WORKSHOP BROCHURE

REGISTRATION FORM



"I appreciated Renés wealth of experience - hearing the stories, listening to how
she handled certain circumstances, and being able to ask questions and have
them answered or discussing them with the group."


"The information was presented in a very understandable fashion.
René is a great teacher!"



APPRENTICE DOULA PROGRAM

Birth Help offers an apprentice training program for doulas desiring experiential training while working with experienced, certified doulas. DONA does not require doulas to participate in an apprentice program to fulfill requirements for birth doula certification.

The apprentice program allows doulas to learn while attending client consultations, prenatal client appointments, births, and postpartum visits. Apprentice doulas also complete reading assignments, childbirth class observations, birth summaries, and participate in other Birth Help functions.

Tuition varies as the apprentice program is personalized to each doula's needs and skill level.

"I wanted to be the best doula I could be, and I knew that meant apprenticing
with Birth Help. The confidence and experience I gained were invaluable,
and today I am part of the most respected doula service in Baton Rouge!"
