I would like to state that the certification process that I have gone through in the last eight weeks has been an amazing journey of in-depth learning. This has provided me the following statements to share:
1) I have been taken through a mirrored reflection journey of the “knowledge” I already knew over many years, yet there has been a vast of new understandings and perspectives I have gained.
2) I have been provided a series of newly gained “knowledge” and can now apply this practical knowledge of the birthing basics into my current classes that I teach.
3) Most importantly, I have been able to take the steps of not only creating, but identifying a Childbirth Education Philosophy statement that has been a part of my childbirth educator journey for many years. I call this my “Childbirth Education Mission Statement”, which is to work collaboratively with customer owners to provide childbirth education options and decisions for their individual family needs.
With the knowledge I have gained and the educational journey I have completed in this certificate program, I am excited to implement the additional knowledge into the childbirth classes that I teach. I am honored to have been a part of the Childbirth Professionals International – Childbirth Educator Certification Program and look forward to working further on other certifications offered.
Thank you.
I have come to the end of the my training and am so encouraged. This coursework has been enlightening and empowering. I feel I am now equipped with the knowledge to help women of color and non color to help in the pregnancy and birth of their babies. This course has taught and given me so much; for example, how to organize my thoughts and information in such a way that gives the mother a broader scope of the birthing process. Childbirthprofessioal has been a awesome tool to help qualify me in the area of reproductive justice.
