Basic Childbirth Education
The Basic Childbirth Education section of our training will teach you:
- Anatomy and physiology of pregnancy and birth
- Signs of labor onset
- Normal physiological birth – stages of labor
- When birth needs help – medical interventions in the hospital setting.
- Cesarean birth
- Early Postpartum procedures for the birthing person and baby- including initial breastfeeding
Hypnosis for Childbirth
Hypnosis for Childbirth is the cornerstone of our Dolphin Doula Method, and when utilized, is an extremely effective technique for assisting pregnant people at all stages of pregnancy and labor. Hypnosis for Childbirth helps the pregnant person adjust mentally and physically to the dramatic changes happening to her body and life.
By practicing deep relaxation through self-hypnosis, the expectant mother:
- Strengthens the bond with baby which helps facilitate parent-infant attachment after birth
- Manages anxiety around the labor and birth process
- Accesses her individual and unique source of strength and calm
- Reframes the pain associated with pregnancy and childbirth and reinforces positive sensations
Hello
I’m currently an ICEA certified doula. My recertification is quickly approaching. I’m researching my options for recertification through other organizations. Can you tell me how the Dolphin Doula certification works for someone who has experience? Also is there an expiration on your certification.
On another note I’m almost done with my YTT and very interested in your prenatal trainings as well. What is the certification title in this program and expiration?
