WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT PRODOULA


“Eva Owen was excellent at facilitating discussion. There was time for it, and she navigated what can be controversial topics with grace and empathy. Discussing things like disengaged partners, the role of mothers in society, and the impacts of generational trauma were all addressed, and I believe I learned a lot. This is my second training through ProDoula, and I continue to be impressed with the balance they are able to strike between modeling and teaching attunement strategies, educating on technical/practical information relevant to the scope of practice, and practical business start up education.

These trainings really do provide a well-rounded, holistic preparation for professional doula work.” – Jules Seals
