Online Doula Training with Birth Ways
Attend this live-streamed weekend Birth Doula Training workshop by Birth Ways International from the comfort of your home. We’ve been training doulas since 2013 and offering online options online since 2015.
Whether you want to support a loved one through her birth; or you wish to start a career as a Doula, this training will give you all the tools, resources, and instructions for hands-on techniques to get started right away. It’s also a nice leg-up for midwifery school and the most thorough prenatal class around.
Whatโs more; you will be qualified to start taking clients immediately upon completion!

At the end of this weekend training, your view of birth, women, birth practices, and where the power resides will likely be transformed forever.
At current rates, there are over 4,000 babies born in Regina annually and closer to 5,000 in Saskatoon. Only about 200 of those in each centre will be attended by a doula; and in fact, many rural areas have no doulas at all. So, thereโs certainly room for more doulas!!
