A doula prenatal goes better with a plan
If you've ever walked into a prenatal hoping it would come together, you've probably asked yourself:
- What do I cover at the first visit?
- How much is too much?
- How do I include the partner?
- What should happen at the second visit?
This class gives you a structure for each doula prenatal, in person or virtual, so you can stop winging it.
I really liked how Alice role-played that she was actually sitting with a client during a prenatal. I felt like it was authentic and not a performance. The language she used was what I felt like I could say to my clients. Very beneficial!
Know what each prenatal visit is for before you walk in.
For doulas, new or practicing. Start any time and go at your own pace.
