Here's what some of our attendees had to say about the last DONA International Conference:

"I love meeting other doulas – so much nurturing energy! I feel I will use lots of the information I learned in my doula practice and teaching as a CBE. Thanks for a great conference."

"This has been an experience of a life time. It has been inspirational to be among so many like-minded people. The conference was well organized. Great speakers. Great topics. I look forward to the next one! Well Done. Thank you for your efforts."

"This was wonderful. I was impressed with how professional the conference was put on. The hotel was great and the rate for such a wonderful place enabled me to bring my family. I hope to find this in the future. ... I was always proud to be a DONA-certified Doula, due to the professionalism of DONA and this conference reassured me even more."

"I have many tools to take home + learn more. It was wonderful to be in a place where like minds are so plentiful. Networking was great. Learning about others' practices and life experiences. Good information to meet with medical community on one on one basis. I have a path to follow or pursue to be more helpful in my clients process, my own life + community. The Volunteering was great fun. It was nice to be useful in the Doula Spirit! It was a healing trip for me + a growing trip. These 5 days have shown that many different people see birth + postpartum in different + caring ways. It is great to have new friends to bounce thoughts + ideas off of."

"You put on a wonderful conference! I look forward to next year's conference already!"
