We have a mission to ensure that every woman has a well-trained Doula at her birth. Our vision of the role of a doula is a partner for the woman. She is there to advocate for the mother and to, preferably, work with the care team to help keep the birth normal. When a new mother has used the services of a doula, she has a better chance to feel more in control of her birth. An empowering birth can often mean the world to a woman that has been systematically oppressed.

How the program works:
Our program is unique. Instead of just a weekend long workshop, we break it into 6 weeks. Each week will be dedicated to one to two modules. There will be a virtual workshop, reading and assignments. The goal is that our doulas will be well educated and ready to competently assist mother's to have fulfilling births.
