Hi! I am in the process of becoming a Doula... if you look on the DONA website (www.dona.com) they have all the information you need to become certified. I hope this works for you and Good Luck!!!

Also check out the Assoc. of Childbirth Educators and Labor Assitants (the oldest professional labor assistant training orgnaization) at alace.com or the International Childbirth Education Association's websit or better yet, Birthing From Within at birthpower.com. There are a lot of organizations to choose from. I am partial to both ALACE and Birthing From Within.
