Comprehensive Curriculum Our 30+ hr training program is designed to provide a thorough understanding of doula work, ensuring that you graduate with the confidence and competence needed to support families effectively.

Unlearning and Relearning Through a Justice-Centered Lens This doula training is not just about gaining skills—it’s about transformation. At its core, this program is designed to help birth workers unlearn systemic biases and relearn reproductive care through a lens of equity, justice, and cultural humility. Through guided reflection, storytelling, historical context, and community dialogue, this training actively challenges the dominant medical and colonial narratives that have silenced traditional birth practices and erased the wisdom of marginalized communities.

FAQ's
What is a doula?
A doula is a trained, non-medical support person who provides emotional, physical, and informational care to families during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Doulas offer advocacy, reassurance, comfort techniques, and education — helping birthing people feel empowered, seen, and supported through life’s most transformative seasons.
​
Do I need any experience or medical background to become a doula?
No medical background is required! Our doula training is open to all — including parents, healers, caregivers, and new birth workers. We teach everything you need to begin offering confident, compassionate care from a culturally grounded and trauma-informed approach.
​
What’s the difference between a birth doula and a postpartum doula?
-
A birth doula supports families during labor and birth by offering comfort measures, advocacy, and emotional presence.
-
A postpartum doula supports the healing process after birth with infant care, body care, emotional processing, and practical home support.
Many doulas train in both areas and offer continuous care from pregnancy through postpartum.
​​
What makes this doula training different?
Our training is rooted in the Mind-Body-Babee™ Model of Care, which centers:
-
Mind: emotional wellness and trauma-informed presence
-
Body: hands-on skills, herbs, bodywork, and rest
-
Babee: cultural ritual, ancestral healing, and sacred support
We also emphasize reproductive justice, cultural humility, grief support, and doula sustainability, so you can offer care that truly nourishes your clients and yourself.
​​
Will I be certified after the training?
Yes. You will receive a Certificate of Completion after attending the full training and completing any required practice or reflection activities, reading assignments and exam. This certification allows you to begin working with clients, building your doula business, or joining doula collectives. You literally can leave the training as a certified doula!
​​
What’s included in the training?
Each training includes:
-
In-person or live virtual classes
-
Herbal and bodywork demos
-
Reflection prompts & reading checklists
-
Access to our private community group
-
Certificate of Completion
-
Optional business coaching or mentorship support​
​
Does the training cover trauma, or birth complications?
Yes. We believe in honoring all birth outcomes. Our training includes trauma-informed, grief-literate support for miscarriage, stillbirth, and birth after trauma. You’ll also learn advocacy tools for supporting families through medicalized or unexpected birth outcomes.
​​
What should I bring to in-person training?
We recommend bringing:
-
A notebook or journal
-
Comfortable layered clothing
-
A water bottle and snacks
-
Any personal or cultural objects you’d like to add to our group altar
-
Your full presence and an open heart
All learning materials and care tools will be provided unless otherwise noted.
​​
How much does doula training cost? Do you offer payment plans?
Most of our trainings cost between $500 - $600.
We offer flexible payment plans, BIPOC scholarships, and community discounts because we believe birth work should be accessible and sustainable.
