All BirthFocus doulas must be certified or in the process of becoming
certified by a nationally recognized training program (Doulas of North
America DONA or the Association of
Labor Assistants and Childbirth Educators
ALACE).
Hypnosis, breastfeeding and
bereavement workshops provide BirthFocus
doulas with the most up-to-date evidence based research on
specific challenges in childbirth. These in-house trainings
guarantee that BirthFocus doulas provide clients with optimal care.
Director, Ilana Stein is available 24/7 for doulas to ask questions of, receive
support from and to discuss challenging situations with.
Monthly meetings explore topics, answer questions and explore issues
that come up at births and within the scope of practice of the doula.
