WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT PRODOULA
“This was my second ProDoula training, and I loved it! I started with the Postpartum and Infant Care Doula (Training) and was so excited by that one, I decided to sign up for the Labor Doula training. It did not disappoint. Crystal was an inspiring instructor, and I appreciate how ProDoula prepares you to make this work a career. I am looking forward to attending my first birth soon and additional ProDoula trainings in the future!” – Parker Chakales
