Find An ICEA Approved Trainer
ICEA and the ICEA Approved Trainer (IAT) agree that the birth of a baby represents the birth of a family. We believe that family-centered maternity care is based on the concept of a “Circle of Care” which centers on the pregnant woman, but also includes her family, healthcare providers, and community resources. Freedom to make decisions based on knowledge of alternatives is fundamental to a woman’s autonomy and should be respected by all in her circle of care. We believe that childbirth is a process that can safely take place in hospitals, birth centers, and homes. To provide optimal maternity care healthcare systems and facilities should be based solely on the needs of the mother, child, and family.
The following credentials symbolize the qualifications our approved trainers are authorized to teach and sponsor:
- IAT-CE (ICEA Certifying Childbirth Educator Workshops)
- IAT-BD (ICEA Certifying Birth Doula Workshops)
- IAT-PD (ICEA Certifying Postpartum Doula Workshops)
*These certifying workshops are part of the ICEA Certification programs, but you must also enroll in the specific ICEA Certification program and complete the rest of the program requirements to become an ICEA Certified Professional.*
