New Beginnings Doulas submit themselves to an intensive personal study and training program that prepares them to serve women in a variety of birth settings. Not only do our doulas have book smarts, but they also have had to rub shoulders with birthing and medical professionals in the communities where they live, to help provide you and your baby with the best birth experience possible.
