Birthing Doula (60221)

Course Overview:

This class is being taught at HACC by Nia Rose Nchami, MS, PCD

This is a Pennsylvania-certified doula class. From the beginning, women have been cared for and nurtured as they become mothers. The community would rally around the new family to help guide them through their tender early weeks and months with a new baby. Today, we’ve expanded and professionalized these roles!
