Doula Training?

Any interest out there in another doula training? Two years ago I coordinated the ALACE doula training. This is a training to become a birth doula. Because of the time I put in, I got my training for free, plus some other perks. If you want to get this training, but don't have the money (around $400), this is the way to do it -- be a coordinator! See www.alace.org for more info. FYI, ALACE also has an educator program which is a correspondence course.

We only have a handful of doulas working in the area right now (much improved from 2 years ago!). I'd love to see lots more. I'm particularly interested in contacting older women who have a lot of wisdom to offer and who have the flexibility to be on call for births. If you know women (of any age) interested in this important work, feel free to refer them to me. I can start a list to let them know if we have another training.
