Full Spectrum Doula Course

Become a Birth, Bereavement, and Postpartum Doula in 8 Weeks!

What is a Doula?

A doula is someone who is trained to support others through touch and talk.  A doula has knowledge about the pregnancy, birth, and postpartum periods, and is able to draw on that knowledge to ease their clients’ fears, anxiety, and provide encouragement and advocacy.  They may also use this knowledge to facilitate communication and collaboration between a client and their partner, or even between a client and their provider.

 

Essentially, a doula is exactly what each individual client needs them to be at any given moment.

and...

There is a good change that You are already a Doula!

If you are considering becoming a doula, there is a good chance that you have already been one.  Now, you are just looking to apply those skills in a new field – and get paid for doing so.

Many who come to doula work are already great listeners, a source of support and encouragement to those around them, are skilled at reading others’ body language, emotions, wants/needs to respond appropriately, and are interested in pregnancy, childbirth, abortion, loss, grief, healing, and new parenthood.

All you need is the training to build the knowledge and skill set necessary to support clients through pregnancy, labor, postpartum, and bereavement during this specific season of their live, as well as learning to make this into a sustainable career.

Did you hire a doula for your own birth?  Perhaps you heard about doulas through a friend or family member?  Or maybe this moment, right here, is the first time you’ve encountered this potential career path? Whatever you are coming from welcome!

 

If you are looking to learn more about what a doula is and how to become one, you are in the right place.

now you can with this new course

Meet your course instructor, Erica

Hello everyone, I’m Erica, the Founder and CEO of Sisters in Loss, where Black Women replace Silence with Storytelling around Pregnancy and Infant Loss and Infertility.

After experiencing a stillbirth at 39 weeks and miscarriage at 18 weeks, I know the pain and healing that comes with life after loss.  Through the powerful stories and testimonies of dynamic, resilient black women, Sisters in Loss provides pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and bereavement doula, and grief services to help women step beyond anxiety and fear and into trust and peace after loss.

Sisters in Loss holds space to present loss and infertility stories in a resourceful culturally acceptable way to assure black women they are not alone on this journey.

Sisters in Loss helps providing comprehensive, culturally competent services to women and families, including community birth workers; classes on childbirth, breastfeeding, and family wellness; and connections to community resources.
