The Nonna Retreat - Family Support Doula Certification for Grandmothers

Doula Certification to Support a Family Member 

• Is your daughter pregnant and in need of your wisdom and support?
• Are you feeling called to step into the matriarchal guardian role, but need to bolster your confidence and skills?
• Do you need a certificate that allows you to be in the birthing suite with your family?

If you answered YES to any of the above, this one-of-a-kind retreat is for you!

​

Imagine spending 4 exciting days on a barrier island, surrounded by beautiful beaches, lush trees and like-minded women. You’ve dedicated this special time to nurturing yourself while deepening your childbirth knowledge.  When you've completed the program, you'll have the certification you need to be present with your precious loved ones during this sacred event!
