Holistic Birth and Postpartum Doula Training

Working From Home
"It was a wonderful experience and I learned a lot of information about how to support a mother before , during, and after labor in the Holistic Doula Class. I learned techniques that will help mother to be with pain comfort levels. The instructor Mrs. Tyehimba was very knowledgeable about the topics that she taught. It was a great experience overall with a lot of information that I can use in supporting expected mothers."
