Full Circle Doula / Birth Companion Training

Blessed is the Doula whose intention is to sacrifice her time to serve the mothers, babies and families. A doula is a birth companion who provides personal support to women and families throughout the pregnancy and birth experience. ICTC sponsors Full Circle Birth Companion/Doula Trainings.

Our training's are perfect for students interested in learning midwifery or Doula skills from an international perspective, focusing on enhancing the prenatal and birth experience for women and their families. Full Circle Birth Companion Doulas will learn Childbirth Education methods, New Baby Care, and Breastfeeding counseling.

Our training staff is comprised of midwives, doulas, health workers, and guest speakers, who are experts in the maternal and child health field. Doula attended births contribute to a reduction of cesarean rates and shorter labors, reduction in epidural requests and analgesia use, reduction in vacuum and forceps deliveries, improvements in bonding experience and partner satisfaction after births and higher breast feeding success rates.
