CERTIFIED POSTPARTUM DOULA (CPD,CBI)
Childbirth International

Childbirth International’s Postpartum Doula training program covers the physiology of the postpartum period together with the skills that a new Postpartum Doula needs. Many families find the initial weeks after the arrival of a baby can be challenging. They’re learning how to care for a new baby, helping siblings adjust, and trying to get some sleep! A Postpartum Doula can make this transition easier. My presence can help parents enjoy the early days with their baby and discover the techniques that work for them.

BLOODBORNE PATHOGENS TRAINING
For Professional Placenta Services Providers
Professional Placenta Service Providers learn to identify and prevent the potential transmission of bloodborne diseases. This training is designed to meet the requirements of OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard - 29CFR 1910.1030.


FOOD SAFETY CERTIFICATE
In Australia, it's a legal requirement that anyone who handles, prepares or serves food as part of their job must be trained in food safety. The Food Handling Certificate course is designed to meet that legal requirement, as well as protecting clients from the sometimes lethal consequences of food safety incidents. Your placenta will be prepared to be consumed and therefore is classed as a food product. This certification ensures your placenta is prepared in the safest way possible for your consumption.
