You are making a difference. Your work as Childbirth Educators, Birth Doulas, and Postpartum Doulas is changing the world and improving birth outcomes for all families. Thank you.
Our talented IATs have a full schedule planned for February 2020 and we hope you can join them.
We’re excited to announce our 2020 Conference will be held on 5-8 November 2020! Mark your calendars and make sure you don’t miss it. Information about registration, hotel, and exhibit space will be released at a later date.
When I visit someone’s home or office, one of the first things I notice are the books. Books tell you not only a person’s interest, but their range of interests. They may appear worn because they are well-read or perhaps because they are a treasured gift or remembrance from someone special.
The world needs more Childbirth Educators, Birth Doulas, and Postpartum Doulas who value compassion, collaboration, and choice. Help us raise $2,020 for the ICEA Scholarship Program.
Help spread the legacy of ICEA throughout the world. Donate now to our scholarship fund and give the gift of certification.
Our talented IATs have a full schedule planned for January 2020 and we hope you can join them.
Many of your efforts may be unseen by others, but I am reminded of the old saying, “Mighty oaks from little acorns grow.” Small acts of kindness, seen or unseen, can make a tremendous difference. Thank you for the work you do.
