Doula training workshop in Toronto on August 17^th, 18^th & 19^th 2007.

The word, "doula," comes from the Greek word for the most important female slave or servant in an ancient Greek household, the woman who probably helped the lady of the house through her childbearing. The word has come to refer to "a woman experienced in childbirth who provides continuous physical, emotional, and informational support to the mother before, during and just after childbirth." (Klaus, Kennell and Klaus, Mothering the Mother) .

This workshop is facilitated by the International Childbirth Education Association (ICEA). This workshop is one step towards becoming a certified birth doula. For more information on what will be covered at the workshop and about registration, please click on the link below.
