Questions

Good to know

How much does it cost?

Tuition is on a sliding scale. We talk with you about your circumstances and set your fee together.

Do I need prior experience to enroll?

No. The training begins with the foundations of birth and builds step by step, so new and experienced doulas are both welcome.

How do I become certified?

Certification requires attending all sessions, completing the required reading, observation and education hours, and supporting three families through labor, birth, and postpartum with documented evaluations.

Does a doula replace medical or midwifery care?

No. A doula provides physical, emotional, and informational support and does not replace medical care or a midwife.
