Frequently asked questions.

No. This is a basic birth doula training. I will provide you with all the materials you need, and no prior knowledge is required.

Yes, they are 100% virtual and held live on Zoom.

This is an international certification.

Yes! You can reserve your spot in a training. Payment plans are available, and the balance must be paid before the training begins. Trainings scheduled further out have smaller monthly payments. Click on each training date to see the available payment plans. You can also use flexible payment options like Affirm and PayPal Pay Later.

You will receive a certificate of completion right after the training, which means you’re ready to start working and earning money as a doula immediately. To become officially certified with DONA International, you need to attend at least three births and complete some paperwork. This hands-on experience is essential for putting your training into practice. The alumni group and I are available to help you navigate through this certification process.

Attendees who are nursing are welcome to do so during the training. However, I recommend arranging childcare ahead of time. You’ll get more out of the training sessions if you can devote your full attention to the material. Some parts of the training are hands-on and require your participation for completion. I’m happy to provide you with the timing of these sections in advance.

Those are legitimate feelings and questions!

With my training program, you’ll work hard but with the support of a vibrant community that will help you overcome any obstacles in your way. You’ll walk away with a basic business package and be ready to go should someone want to hire you the moment you’re finished with the class.
