Ask certified doulas and childbirth educators in the area if they know anyone who is currently certifying and needs births. If you can't find a doula-in-training, consider bartering/trading/payment plans if you want a doula. Doulas are pretty reasonable and willing to work with women of limited financial means if you really want a doula at the birth.
