DONA International is proud to announce the inaugural Advanced Doula designees! At the 2015 virtual conference, a new credential was unveiled for veteran doulas. This year’s nominees were exactly what we expected from experienced DONA International doulas who are working, teaching, publishing, mentoring and learning in support of the growth and strength of the maternal-child field. Congratulations to the 2015 Advanced Doulas!
