Become a Magnificat Childbirth Education
If you have ever wanted to be an educator than this is the class to join. We are now taking payments on our website for this class and not through Thinkific. You will be given private link to that site! Our childbirth educator class teaches you how to make your own lesson plans - so you can get as creative as you like or use someone else's plans as well. This is a great class to take if you don't want to have an "on call life" as a doula, but be part of the birth worker world! |
