Birth Arts Doula Workshops

Birth Arts International is a holistic doula training organization currently offering workshops in the US and Europe, as well as distance learning doula education globally. Birth Arts Doulas are holistically trained, in the art and science of assisting women in pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. The birth doula program integrates evidence-based maternity care with the wisdom of traditional midwifery and women's healing arts.

Learn about optimal health for pregnancy, labor, birth, and postpartum, as well as the practical skills, techniques, and hands-on-care of being a labor support doula. Learn about updated research and practices in modern maternity care and midwifery. Practice bodywork, rebozo, and massage for labor support.

The workshops combine intensive experiential practice with a distance learning component and birth attendance for certification. Birth Arts Doula Trainings are comprehensive, extensive, inclusive, and empowering. Contact Kara Spencer for more information on upcoming trainings in the USA: kara@birtharts.com.
