My Name is Robin

In 30+ years I've trained more than 10,000 doulas worldwide and attended more than 1,500 births.

I’ve seen birth in nearly every form it takes. And I’ve seen how much the quality of support matters, both for the birth family and for the doula showing up for them.

If you feel called to this work, I’ll walk with you from the very start. You’ll leave knowing how to build a steady practice, support birth families with confidence, and take your first client without second-guessing yourself.

You’ll also land in a community of doulas who stay in touch long after training ends. That part doesn’t go away. I’ll help you learn to be a doula.

In Their Words

"I can't express enough how amazing the online Doula Training is. Robin sets you up to succeed. She has developed an amazing support system that is always giving. The support you receive after the training is beyond incredible. I would not be where I am without the community that she has created."

"I am a doctor of physical therapy with close to 30 years of practice under my belt, and I have taken many, many courses over the years. I really enjoyed learning from Robin. She breaks down the information into easy, bite-size material and incorporates different learning styles into her class."

"Robin was a delightful teacher. She has decades of wisdom to pass on, which she does in an easygoing and fun manner."

Frequently Asked Questions

Are there any prerequisites?

No. This is a beginner-level training. You'll receive everything you need.

Are the courses online?

100% Live online - Whichever you pick, class is live, not a recorded library you watch alone.

Is DONA certification valid everywhere?

Yes. DONA International certification is recognized worldwide. I've trained doulas who practice across the US and internationally.

Am I certified the day I finish the course?

Not on the day you finish. You leave with your training complete, then you work through a DONA certification packet on your own timeline. I'll walk you through each piece.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes. Payment plans are available at checkout, along with Afterpay and Klarna if you prefer.

What if I have a nursing baby?

Bring them. I've run this training with nursing babies for years. It works. You known your baby best and age and mobility matter. A younger baby who is mostly needing to nurse but has another main caregiver during class keeps you from dividing your time.
