welcome

If you are a caring, hands-on woman who is interested in the birth

process and helping women and their babies have a positive birth

experience, Doula work could be for you.

There are many proven benefits of having a doula present at birth.

Research shows that Doula care lowers the rates of medical

interventions, including epidurals, oxytocin use, and cesarean

deliveries. Postpartum outcomes improve as well. Women assisted by doulas have better breastfeeding experiences, improved

maternal-infant interaction, lower incidence of postpartum depression and anxiety, higher self-esteem and more satisfaction with the birth experience.

Please look over this website for more information regarding Open

Heart Doula Training, and about the work you love to do.

We offer Birth Doula training workshops several times a year, and by taking these classes, you will be one step closer to becoming certified by DONA International as a Birth Doula, and having the most rewarding work of your life.
