YBE Equip

CONNECT. IDENTIFY. EQUIP.

You've read the books, attended the doula training and you are PASSIONATE about providing emotional, physical and informational support to families during childbirth, but now you're asking yourself,

"How do I get to know my clients, find out what they want and serve them in the way they want for their birth?"

WHAT YOU LEARN IN THE TRAINING

• Explore how investing in personal growth and increasing your emotional intelligence is the KEY to improving your skills and practice.
• Address the pain points and pitfalls of the typical Doula prenatal appointment and identify what's NOT working for you.
