Certified up!

Doula Certification

I am very excited to announce that, after four long weeks of training, I am now a fully certified Doula. As excited as I am about this certificate, I am more excited about the other opportunities this training brings.

The knowledge and resources I gained through the course, coupled with my previous 80 hours of Prenatal Yoga training + my personal experience with two pregnancies, labours and births, sparks the start of a series of workshops for mamas and their partners! These workshops will be full of juicy, loving and informative teachings that any pregnant woman, and their partner, would want to know.

I am so passionate about birth, babies and all the bliss around it! I’m looking forward to sharing more about the big plans to come!

Love,

Salina
