Paramana Doula Course

by
Dr Michel Odent and an experienced Doula

"Why is there such a demand for doulas?"

"In the time surrounding birth, women need to feel secure", explains Dr Odent. "They need the sort of protection that is provided by the presence of a mother. But for many reasons special to our time, many women cannot rely on their own mother and the father of the baby cannot also be a mother figure. That is why they need a doula."

If you are a mother or a grandmother, are you drawn to help other women as a doula? First and foremost, a doula has herself had positive experience of giving birth and of post birth baby nurture.

This three day course includes what doulas should know about pregnancy, breastfeeding and birth physiology, building on the practical knowledge they already have from their experiences of giving birth. The course will also cover "hot topics" such as ultra-sound scans, early multiple vaccinations and nutrition during pregnancy.
