Doula course upcoming

Submitted article-A doula is a person who helps support and encourage women in labour. A doula is not a midwife or a doctor but is an equally important member of the delivery team. The doula is in the delivery room to help and motivate the woman in labour. Would you like to be one or want to know more about labor and delivery?
Do you have a daughter/sister/friend/cousin/niece who is pregnant and has asked you to help her in the delivery room; to be there in her hour of need as a loving support? Did you know that there's a lot more a person can offer than just holding a hand or wiping a forehead? Do you wish you had more knowledge of how to assist her? Would you like to be able to offer your labor support services to women over the long term?
