A Do-What!? What is a doula?

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. We offer both birth and postpartum doula training, as separate certificates.

Doula training and certification offers you many benefits.  As a doula, you work side by side with many other trained professionals. Your confidence will come from knowing what to do, and when to do it. That knowledge is preparation that you will receive with New Beginnings Doula Training programs.
