Certification & Referrals: DACO, through DONA International, offers
certification and training to its members. After completion of the DONA
training members are encouraged to work toward certification by completing
all DONA requirements (see DONA
Birth Doula Certification Packet). While attending the three births
required for certification you have the option of being apart of the
apprenticeship program to help you gain experience. A member can also
place herself on the referral list to obtain clients. We receive many
calls from pregnant women who learn about doulas from their health care
providers and/or childbirth educators.
