Donations To Benefit Doula Training Programs
MONTCLAIR, NJ (August 2012)–Bangz Salon & Wellness Spa, New Jersey’s premier, award-winning, salon and spa, is hosting a Doula Meet and Greet and information session on August 27, 2012 from 6-8pm at the salon, located at 23 South Fullerton Avenue, Montclair, NJ. Doulas, as well as various other birth practitioners such as nutritionists, prenatal yoga instructors, and lactation consultants, will be on hand to discuss their field of expertise. Anyone who has a desire to train to become a doula, as well as expectant mothers and friends, can attend this event to learn about techniques and skills doula’s use to ensure the health of expectant mothers and their unborn child.
This event will raise money for DONA International to go to several doula training scholarships for local women looking to achieve their goal of becoming a doula.
Doulas are non-medical support staff that help coach a woman through labor and childbirth. They assist the mother, family, and other medical personal, through the entire pregnancy and birthing process and are associated with improved health of mothers and babies as well as a variety of other benefits. The doula practitioners from DONA International (Doulas of North America) will be at Bangz Salon and Wellness Spa to answer questions about the benefits of a doula and more of an understanding of the kind of work they do.
The event is being hosted by Ella Crowe, 2012 winner of the ‘Face of Bangz’ event. Ella is a certified birth doula with DONA International and is currently working with Hudson Perinatal Consortium in Jersey City. Ella, along with another doula, will be speaking at the event. Admission is free, but donations of $5-$20 are greatly encouraged. All contributions will be donated to women who are completing Doula certification programs. In addition to the information session, food is being provided by Tinga, a local restaurant specializing in Mexican cuisine.
