Holistic
Labor Companion
Program
(6
month Childbirth Assistant Program; 400 hours of study;
120 in class hours; 180 independent study hours; 100
hours internship=400 total)
- This
program is designed to prepare students to assist
in natural childbirth, both in the home and hospital
setting. Unlike midwives who assist in delivering
newborns, the Holistic Labor Companion's focus is
on supporting the mother through the pregnancy,
birth, and early infancy phases. This program is
unique to other birth assistant (doula) programs
in that it includes training in multiple natural
health modalities, such as nutrition, muscle testing,
homeopathy, essential oils, and more.
- Internship
hours - Students must participate in the pregnancy,
labor, birth, and infant care of three families;
work in a variety of settings to gain experience
in understanding how each individual birth is unique;
and share with other labor companions and midwives
your individual journey. Students may not charge
for their services during internship hours and no
fees will be paid to the school.
