I recently took a Birth Doula Workshop through Birthing Gently. Not only did they make the material interesting and fun, they made space and time for all of the students to ask questions, share experiences, and interact. Our workshop was richer because the instructors knew how to teach, listen, and care. They came with a wealth of knowledge and experience and I left feeling filled and ready to share what I learned with birthing parents. I highly, highly recommend this training!
