FAQs

Is certification included?

Yes, certification is included in all training purchases.

What background does a doula need to have?

Our participants come from all walks of life and interests. We see everyone from nannies to nurses, teachers to gender studies students at our trainings. There are no special qualifications necessary to become a doula. Simply have an open mind and a willingness to learn and you will be ready to begin developing your own unique doula practice!

What are a doula's roles & responsibilities?

Doulas first and foremost are responsible to their clients rather than being responsible for their outcomes.

Doulas must have the time and the willingness to show up for clients in their time of need. Our training will help you explore what it means to hold space for another person's experience and advocate skillfully for their needs.

Doulas know intuitively why this is needed. Our training gives doulas the how-tos and the best practices.

Our instructors will also help you discover what structure is right for your doula practice. From creating a small business of your own to volunteer work, we'll go over all the options and guide you to find what works best for you and your community.
