DouLA-Birth Partners of Los Angeles was founded in 1995. It received DONA
approval in 1996 which means completion of this program fulfills one requirement
toward DONA certification as a birth doula. Presently, over 40 workshops have
been held making it the most experienced training program in Southern
California.
The one-day introduction to labor support allows applicants to
acquire the necessary basic information prior to the doula training. It covers
the role of a doula and basics of support during the normal birth process. Those
who want to pursue a career as a doula go on to attend Level II. Either
completion of Level I or proof of completing observation of an approved
Childbirth Education class is required prior to Level II training
Birth
educators and nurses with recent birth experience may come directly into Level
II. The two-day workshop covers in-depth labor support strategies, working
within the medical framework to improve women's birth experience, guidelines for
doula contact with clients and tips for setting up practice as a doula. DONA
Certification procedures are clarified. Local doula networking groups provide
support for beginning doulas and continue with educational programs for
established doulas.
