Research Based Doula Certification Designed For Your Success!

Published: Sun, 11/07/21

My research into what makes doulas successful reveals that many had a reliable community right away. Just like the families we support, having someone who believes in you and your abilities can make all the difference. By creating my own simplified, relationship based certification system, we are able to work with you in small groups. You don't have to prove yourself to us, we already know you!

After twenty years of interviewing doulas, I KNOW what the predictable stages of growth are. When you write/record your birth stories and your reflection papers, we can see that.

I've designed every detail of the curriculum to add to your professional success and your personal growth.

See our diagram below for details, or better yet, visit our site!
