Benefits of certification?

[sydneyyurk]

What are the benefits of certification with an organization? I have attended several births and have read a million books...I have two young children...breastfed/feeding both...is it for the benefit of the client?

This is an interesting question. Here are a few links on the topic:
To certify or not to certify?
How important is it to be certied?
Do I have to be certified?
Charging Before Certification Is Complete
Is certification mandatory to be called a doula?

Here's another link with many certification-related postings: http://www.alldoulas.com/forums/tags...certification/

Hope this helps
