how is a DTI doula different?

It means so much to me to be a Doula Trainings Institute Certified Doula. What makes a DTI doula so special? Take a look below and see what they have to say -

“They’re supporters, not saviors. Our doulas are present in hospitals and homes to meet the needs of their clients and facilitate meaningful conversations with providers. They know their stuff, from birth control options to the latest evidence-based research.

But most importantly, they believe that the pregnant person or person trying to conceive is ultimately the decision-maker, which isn’t (or shouldn’t be) a controversial belief. Our practice is based on mutual trust – our doulas trust their clients to make their own informed choices, while clients trust our doulas to provide the unconditional care and support they need. 

    They are reproductive health, birth and postpartum specialists. They have an incredible knowledge of the process of pregnancy, birth, labor and the postpartum period. The benefits of doula support are well known and well documented. Doulas have a positive impact on outcomes and should not be a luxury, but a necessity. They are a specially trained healthcare provider, without clinical training, who understand the anatomy and physiology of conception and birth and the emotional and physical aspects of the postpartum and newborn period.

They’re modern-day healers. They have a wealth of knowledge and experience. They understand the ins and outs of physical, mental and spiritual health through the prenatal, birth, postpartum, and newborn periods. We encourage them to practice in an integrative and holistic way if they are certified through other healing modalities.”
