ABOUT BIRTH ARTS:  

Birth Arts International is a holistic doula and childbirth education organization that was co-founded by Kara Spencer and Demetria Clark in 2000. Today, Kara is the US Director while Demetria is the Global Director from the Birth Arts office in Switzerland. We have two other Birth Arts teachers in the US, and have many students and graduates from all over the world.

BIRTH DOULA WORKSHOPS:

Join us for an immersion into the science and spirit of labor support and become a Birth Arts Doula. Learn how to provide support for women and babies through pregnancy, labor, birth, and immediate postpartum. The training includes a weekend workshop, an extensive workbook, and on-going mentoring through distance work to complete certification as a Certified Birth Arts Doula. 

Birth Arts offers a complete birth doula training integrating evidence-based maternity care research with traditional women's wisdom and intuition. The workshop includes hands-on experiential practice in bodywork, rebozo, labor support techniques, and non-pharmacological methods of pain relief. Learn the art and science of labor support for optimal birthing in home, birth center, and hospital environments.
