Welcome!

WE'RE SO GLAD YOU'RE HERE!

START YOUR JOURNEY AS A DOULA OR CHILDBIRTH EDUCATOR

As you embark on this fulfilling career, you will have the opportunity to support families during one of the most important times in their lives. Your compassion and guidance will make lasting impact, helping to empower parents through the childbirth experience and beyond.

 

Embrace this path and watch as you grow both personally and professionally!

A recent Cochrane Review titled "Continuous Support for Women During Childbirth" showed a very high number of positive birth outcomes when a doula was present.

THE BENEFITS OF HAVING A BIRTH DOULA INCLUDE:
  • reduced need for pain-relief medications
  • reduced need for a cesarean birth
  • reduced length of labor by 25%
  • reduced use of synthetic oxytocin by 40%
  • reduced requests for an epidural by 60%

Women also reported having a more positive childbirth experience and the overall cesarean rate decreased by 50%
