8-Week Doula Training Cohort
The Role of an Empowered Birth and Postpartum Doula
An empowered birth and postpartum doula provides emotional, physical, and informational support to families during pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum. They empower parents to make informed decisions, advocate for their choices, and offer non-judgmental care, including comfort measures, breastfeeding support, newborn care education, and emotional support.

This includes aspiring doulas, healthcare professionals, childbirth educators, social workers, and anyone with a genuine desire to make a positive impact during this transformative time.
