I’ve got questions about becoming a doula.

Can I Become a Doula?

Absolutely! Every day more people are using doulas at their births. Research shows that births attended by a doula result in better outcomes for mothers and babies. Doula work is also a great first step to other birth-related work.

Doula training and certification offers you many benefits.  As a doula, you work side by side with many other trained professionals.
