If you are a Doula or Midwife in training and would like to learn to all about the mechanics of the Birthing Process
this online course is for you!
In this online course, you will learn to all about the mechanics of the Birthing Process. Understanding exactly what happens at each stage of the birth will help you understand how injuries to the skull and neck can happen, even during a healthy delivery.
Knowing how strains on the Newborns skull and body during the Birthing Process can cause a mis-shappen head, or excessive crying and colic, or poor sleep habits will equip you to better support your client, the Birthmother, and advise her who to turn to for help.
Learning to identify these issues in the first few days or weeks after birth, and knowing who to refer your Birthmother client to for help, can be a very satisfying aspect of your Post Partum Doula Services.
How the course works:
This is the second course in our new Doula & Midwife Training Series.
This course includes 10 hours of on-line learning with teaching in audio format, downloads to use in your Doula or Midwife practice in the future, and a quiz at the end of each chapter.
A new chapter is released each week but there is no deadline to complete this course. You can log in from anywhere at any time and learn.
Access the course for one full year!
This course enrollment fee gives you complete access to this course for one full year, 365 days. That includes all of the demonstration videos that you can watch as many times as you like, listen to the audio lessons over and over, and downloads that you can use to enhance your Doula or Midwife practice!
Certificates of Completion:
Upon completion of the course, students receive a Certificate of Completion for 10 CPD/CEU hours.
