What kind of training is involved in becoming a doula?
Typically, folks start with a three day training, such as the one offered by DONA. However, it takes far more than a weekend workshop to actually be a doula; for us, what made the difference was attending births. We all take advantage of almost every educational opportunity that we can, so after a few years you will probably have a very impressive resume of courses and workshops under your belt. Basically, the learning never stops!
