I've also been seriously considering the possibility of becoming a trainer. Usually the training is offered a couple of times a year (one is usually right after the annual Conference). I wanted to do it last year in St. Louis, but the timing wasn't great for my family. I probably won't do it in Vancouver this summer, but if it's offered in Atlanta (August '09) with the Conference I am very interested!
I'll bet Lubbock could use a great doula trainer! How close is the nearest one to you now? I've found that one of the best ways to get some clients is to have more doulas and if there's not a ton of doulas there, grow your own!
