CAPPA Childbirth Educator and Labor Doula trainings are designed for students with a good working knowledge about childbirth. Please contact me prior to registering if you have not attended births, given birth, or have associated training/education in birth. While this does not disqualify you from training, I may suggest some ways you can prepare so that you receive maximum benefit from your training.

Women are transformed through their births, be a part of that amazing journey!
