Attend this weekend online training workshop organized by Birth Ways International and you will be prepared to help women with everything postpartum โ how to prepare for postpartum, how to make an effective postpartum plan, and how to thrive after a baby is born.
Angie and Karen are master doulas and instructors and have been training online since 2015 so we are experienced in making this a wonderful learning experience.
Whether you want to support a loved one through postpartum; or you wish to start a career for yourself as a Postpartum Doula, this training will give you all the tools, resources, and hands-on practice you need to get started right away.
Whatโs more; you will be qualified to start taking clients immediately upon completion!

Attending this training is a great way for you to begin your new birth business or expand the existing one.
Postpartum Doulas assist new families through a variety of hands-on practical skills, support, compassionate presence, and education. We see this as an exciting new-to-Saskatchewan field of doula support and weโre absolutely sure youโd love it!
At current rates, there are over 4000 babies born in Regina annually and closer to 5000 in Saskatoon. Only a very small percentage of those families are served by postpartum doulas; and in fact, many rural areas have no doulas at all. So, thereโs certainly room for more doulas!
