MOTHERING THE MOTHER

Dial a Doula recognises that the essential qualities of a doula are compassion, patience, an ability to be present and to have an understanding of the natural birth process.

Dial a Doula is one of Melbourne’s oldest face to face doula training organisations, we have been training birth and postnatal doula’s for over 25 years. With this experience, we have seen the many ways our doulas have been able to support birth and postpartum. Past Dial a Doula students have started organisations such as Birth For Human Kind, they’ve been involved in setting up Doula Network Australia, there are past students who have built strong and lasting relationships with private midwives, worked alongside incredible Obstetricians.

Dial a Doula training is aligned with anyone who feels they want to hold space and support women and families, through the most amazing and sometimes challenging time in their lives; whether you are drawn to studying with us because you love birth; perhaps you or someone you know has had a traumatic experience in birth or postnatally, and you want to do all you can to support people during this important time in their lives; you may have had a really positive experience and feel called to support women in birth or postnatally; perhaps your deciding whether to study midwifery or to become a doula, and you know that in your heart you want to offer continuous care and support during pregnancy, birth and postnatally. If you are personable, empathetic, warm hearted, passionate and want to support birth and postpartum then this training is for you.
