Frequently Asked Questions

What Modalities does Mima'm Training offer?

All Mima’m Trainings can be done in 3 different Modalities, depending on what each Woman needs and what best suits her situation and circumstances.

Classroom Format:
The Mima’m Trainings are held at Port Balís in Sant Andreu de Llavaneres, very close to Barcelona and easily accessible both by car and public transport.
The room is an open space, set and created especially for our meetings in the Seminars, and the environment is a wonderful place, both for the Women doing the training and for the rest of the Family, if they need to come with companions to take care of Creatures.

Online Format:
We take special care of the needs and accompaniment of the Women doing the Training from Home.
The seminars are transmitted 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 the questions are asked.
The students in the online format also have the monthly support circles in online format with their tutor.

Mixed Format:
This Format allows each Woman to choose month by month which seminars she takes in situ and which ones in an Online Format. Thus, being able to manage personal, family and work logistics that may arise, and particular circumstances.

All Formats have access to the recordings of the Seminars given, to be reviewed, between one seminar and the next, if deemed necessary or if a more exhaustive use of the theoretical content is desired.

What happens if I cannot attend a Seminar?

We pay special attention to the emotional aspect and we also look for ways to facilitate the logistics of attending and being able to complete the training in the cycle that corresponds to you.

For this reason, if you are unable to attend one of our Training Seminars in person, you have two options:

To do it online-live from home, or to visualize the recording of the Seminar in deferred with a Form that allows us to maintain contact and follow up the learning and personal process of the topic addressed.

In this case you have approximately one month to view the Seminar you were unable to attend.

In this way, you will always be able to complete the training within your cycle and also keep up to date with the contents that are taught.

Are there any Internship Spaces in the Mima'm Trainings?

In the Doula Training we offer the possibility of optional practices in the Online Maternity Support Group, and in the Online Course of Childbirth Preparation.

Every year, there is also the opportunity to do an internship with some of the Doulas who have been trained at Mima’m and who are already accompanying Maternity Groups.

We also offer the possibility of doing an internship with the Tutoring and Support Team of the Course, reviewing and doing a Case Study and Role Playing in online modality.

We also have a few places each year for women who have already completed the training, so that they can do it again as tutors in practice accompanying the women of the new editions.

In addition, during the Course there are Seminars where we approach real cases through Role Playing.

In these spaces, the accompaniment of real cases is practiced, creating the space to polish the basic techniques of Respectful Maternity Support such as Active Listening, the appropriate way to transmit information, and the awareness of the limits of our competencies in the Accompaniment.

Every year we review and update our Training Program and look for new additions to ensure that we offer you the best possible quality in each Edition.

How to get to the space where we give our trainings?

By car, we are 35′ from Barcelona, and there is a free parking a few meters from the hall and a paid parking inside Port Balís in Sant Andreu de Llavaneres, just below the hall.

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 the Space where we offer the Formations for Us is a formative agent in itself. Magic is created in it, the Light, the Sea, the Openness as well as the Containment that it offers, is very Special. We also take care that the space is clean, harmonized and balanced.

We remind you that we also offer the Training in Live Online Format, so if you prefer to do the Training at a distance, you can do the Seminars from home.

Can I go with my Baby to the Training?

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 Mima’m trainings.

Babies who are in the ex-utero stage can be comfortably inside the room together with Mom, since they are all located in chairs on the floor, it is very comfortable to be available for the needs of the babies.

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.

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 support 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 Support, 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.

What are the Tutorials and the Small Circle in Doula Training?

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, it is essential that each one finds an intimate space for accompaniment, both in the Circle and individually if needed.

Every Saturday at the end of the seminar, we offer a space of Tutoring in Small Circles with your own Doula tutor of that Circle, where we can share what we have experienced and felt.

Each woman can also request individual tutoring with her tutor of reference when she feels it is necessary.

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 give support to each other is, without a doubt, to feel the companionship.

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.

Walking such a special stage together with your companions and the team of Companions, awakens a revolutionary warmth in the Women who study with us.

In addition, logistically, the training is designed for work-life balance: the room is very easy to use whether you are pregnant or with a small baby, there are balls, mats, chairs, whatever you need to make you feel as comfortable as possible.

As it is a dual format, in person and live online, if one day you feel more comfortable at home, you can still be present at the seminar from Zoom, you choose!

And finally, all seminars are recorded and you have access to the videos until the next seminar.

It is a very flexible training that adapts to your needs!
