DONA (Doula's of North America) is an international, non-profit organization that strives to train and educate doula's all over the world.
while it's true that anyone can call themselves a doula, i will be following DONA's recommendations and actually obtaining certification by reading books, taking part in workshops, attending births with a mentor and writing an essay- it is a lot of work but i am excited to start the process.
according to their webiste "DONA International began in 1992, when a small group of some of the foremost experts in childbirth decided that the time had come to promote the importance of emotional support for mothers and their partners during birth and the postpartum period." in 2004, they decided to change their name to DONA International because their community had grown so large. they are now the leading doula association in the world.
their website is extremely informative (follow the link above) but i will be writing a few posts breaking down the information that can be found there. every step i take in my journey will be because it is what is recommended by DONA, they are a very well respected association and i will be honored to be a part of their community.
