“I gained a wealth of information and had a fabulous time learning! The class flew by, and I could learn from Trena forever. My experience truly reaffirmed why I signed up for Trena’s class.”

So you're a Doula...
If you're not a Doula...
Becoming a childbirth educator is also a strong fit for nurses, midwives, lactation consultants, and other birth workers who want to broaden their skill set and help families make informed choices.
What are the steps?
How it works:
I’m bringing the best of both worlds by blending self-paced learning with live group interaction. You do your thing at your own pace but have the accountability of virtual check-ins so your learning doesn’t get put on the backburner. You’ll have me to answer your questions, celebrate your wins, and guide you in your teaching skills. Please see the program calendar for course options and dates.
Brace yourself! Here’s what you’ll walk away knowing:
● Creating a positive learning environment
● Lamaze Fundamentals
● Healthy lifestyle, wellness and informed consent
● Anatomy of birth
● Lamaze 6 Healthy Birth Practices
● Pain in labour
● Unexpected outcomes
● Culture and inclusivity
● Creating your prenatal education class
● Standards of practice and Code of Ethics
● Building your business
● Preparing for the Lamaze exam

Read ahead, and notice the difference in your understanding.
These aren’t totally mandatory, but I do believe you’ll feel the difference when you put in the extra effort.

This program is designed to teach you HOW to teach, so you’ll need to know WHAT to teach beforehand. If you’ve attended Birth and Postpartum Doula training, you’re all set. Or perhaps you’ve gained the skills elsewhere, for instance, if you have children of your own and have attended Childbirth Education classes. If you’re unsure, feel free to reach out by email outlining the birth education that you’ve already completed.
…But you want to support and educate families on their childbirth journey in a group setting.
Or you’re looking to expand your services by offering something to a larger audience, which naturally funnels people into your individual services.
