Online meetings and possibility of carrying out face-to-face seminars in Online format:
We held 4 live online group meetings via Zoom (10 hours). And we continue to accompany you with the Team of Tutors through the exclusive Whatsapp chat.
We pay special attention to the needs and accompaniment of the women who take from home those modules that are designed to be done in a face-to-face format.
For this reason, the face-to-face meetings are also broadcast Live via Zoom, and an important aspect is that the doubts and questions of the Women in this Format are transmitted via Chat to the Speakers at the time when the question time opens.
What happens if I cannot attend a Face-to-Face Module?
We take a special look at the emotional and we also look for ways to facilitate the logistics when attending and being able to complete the Training.
For this reason, if you are unable to attend any of the face-to-face modules of our Trainings, you have two options:
Do it online live from home, or watch the recording of the module on demand.
Are there any Internship Spaces in the Mima'm Trainings?
In the Doula Training we offer the possibility of doing optional internships in one of the places that we propose in a list.
They are spaces with some of the Doulas who have been trained in Mima’m and who are already accompanying Maternity Groups.
In addition, our Face-to-Face Modules have been prepared as Practice Spaces for some of the content taught in the Training, together with spaces for Doubts, Sharing and Role Playing.
In these modules, the accompaniment of real cases is practiced, creating the space to polish the basic techniques of Respectful Accompaniment of Motherhood such as Active Listening, the appropriate way to transmit information, and awareness of the limits of our competences in Accompaniment.
What are the Online Training Meetings?
From the Team we are fully aware of the vital Transformation and the deep Look that awakens the Doula and Accompanying Doula Training in Early Childhood and Parenting Mima’m in the Women who choose to walk it.
For this reason, the 4 Encounters are spaces where you can feel accompanied, and you can integrate your processes in a careful and contained way.
In addition, we continue to accompany you through the Whatsapp chat where you can always share doubts, materials, information about the contents, etc.
These spaces allow to accompany the process that each one experiences in a close way and creating a bond of trust.
In addition, we feel that the best way to learn to accompany is, without a doubt, to feel accompanied.
How to get to the space where we hold the Face-to-Face Meetings?
If we do it in the Maresme (St Andreu de Llavaneres): By car, we are 35′ from Barcelona, and there is a free car park a few metres from the room and a paid one inside the Port Balís in Sant Andreu de Llavaneres, just below the room.
By public transport, you can take the R1 and the station is a 15′ walk from the hall along a beautiful promenade to enjoy before arriving.
The Room and Space where we offer the Trainings for Us is a formative agent in itself. Magic is created in it, the Light, the Sea, the Openness at the same time as the Containment it offers, it is very Special. We also take care and make sure that the space is clean, harmonized and balanced.
The possibility of carrying out the face-to-face modules in Barcelona City is being considered, to be specified shortly.
We remind you that we also offer the Training in Live Online Format, so if you prefer to take the Training remotely, you can take the Modules from your Home.
Can I go with my Baby to the Face-to-Face modules?
Being a Training space designed and created by and for Women, taking into account the comfort of Mothers and Families has been one of our priorities when choosing the Space for the Face-to-Face Modules of the Mima’m Trainings.
In the case of performing them in the Port Balis of St Andreu de Llavaneres, the Babies who are in the exterogestation stage can be comfortably inside the room with Mom, because they are all located in chairs on the floor, it is very comfortable to be available for the needs of the Creatures.
At the same time, for older children, the environment where the training is located is ideal so that the needs for movement and exploration can easily accompany them.
The beach, boats, a park… is a precious and conciliatory space for the needs of children, where they can be with an adult companion of reference for them.
And they always have access to the room at times when they need contact with Mom, for feeding or napping, for example.
Also next to the training space, there is another room where the children can be with their companion of reference, on days when the weather may not invite to be outdoors, or to combine spaces.
If in the end the Meetings are held in Barcelona City, there are also some rooms for families within the same space, in addition to all the resource environment that being in Barcelona entails.
Can I be a Doula without being a Mother?
There are many women who come to the Doula Mima’m Training without being Mothers, and almost all of them have asked themselves this question. That is why today we bring you this little reflection.
First:
Of course you can be a Doula without being a Mother!
There are as many ways to accompany as there are Doulas, and the look and disposition of a woman who has not been a mother is as unique and important as the others. If you have not been a mother, your accompaniment will be given from a place of spontaneous neutrality since there are no experiences of your own to place and digest.
We have been cultivating Sorority as a fundamental part of our Lives for decades as Women. Sisterhood that is expressed in mutual support, in spaces of listening, support, accompaniment among us, care and appreciation of what women do day by day.
All of this resonates very much with the type of accompaniment that we Doulas offer, doesn’t it?
This awareness has made more and more women approach the Doula Figure without being Mothers, because we cultivate a special sensitivity towards Mothers and Childhood, a call to the Care of Life and the Accompaniment of those who Care and Motherhood in the first line.
The Doula Training provides you with a fundamental theoretical basis for the Accompaniment, and the spaces of practice and reflection linked to the Accompaniment itself and to the Communication with Mothers and Families, help to refine this sensitivity that those of us who feel this call, already have.
If you feel the call to become a Doula and you are not a mother, we are here to answer all your questions.
When to take the Mima'm Doula Training?
Many women come to the training pregnant or during the first few months postpartum, and one question they often have is whether it is a good time to take the training.
Without a doubt the answer is, if you feel like it and it resonates with you, yes!
Entering the Doula world by walking your own motherhood can be a transformative and eye-opening, powerful experience.
Surrounded by women who will accompany you, professionals from whom you will learn and give you the information you need to walk your own path.
Maternar walking such a special stage together with your companions and the team of Companions, awakens a revolutionary warmth in the Women.
In addition, at a logistical level, it is a training that is designed for conciliation: when we carry out face-to-face modules, the room is very facilitating whether you come pregnant or with a small baby, there are balls, mats, chairs, whatever you need to make you feel as comfortable as possible.
The modules designed for face-to-face have a dual format; face-to-face and online live, if any of the face-to-face meetings you cannot attend physically, you can still be present at the seminar from Zoom, you choose!
And finally, all the face-to-face modules are recorded and you will have access to the videos.
It is a very flexible training that adapts to your needs!
