Updates: We are keeping The Birth Partner book - have decided to revert back to the 3rd edition as the newest 5th edition has inclusive language and finding the 4th edition seems extremely hard to find! So, once we have our revisions in place we will be following this older edition. 
The Gift of Birth Book will remain as a journaling book to go through.
*Newest edition: The Comfort in Birth Method by Julie Larsen will replace Nurturing Touch at birth. *Note this book if you choose include one book for the class will be drop shipped to you from lulu press - note it may take 2-3 weeks to get to your location. (For US residents only).
We may also make a short pamphlet booklet about The 7 Gifts of the Holy Ghost in near future. 
Rebozo Unfolded is a recommended reading book about rebozo - however it is difficult to obtain; so that might be our next book project for students to have our own booklet about rebozo. 
We also recommend: Spiritual Pregnancy category for book review, Challeges of Labor for book review and one general book.
*New Breastfeeding for Doulas class*: This mini-course will be an add-on fee - not too high - teach you some breastfeeding basics - great for doulas who have little or no experience (like if you have never been a mother or not married - or perhaps you want a refresher). We will be requiring this class once it is finished in order to certify - unless you have proof of breastfeeding for one year as a mother. Thank you for understanding as we wish to improve our classes.
*Business 101 mini-class will also be required for students; this is based mostly on our Doing Business the Doula Way digital book - this mini-class can be included in cost (see options when enrolling).
