Certified Postpartum Doulas are trained professionals who support families after birth

While care for families immediately after a baby has been born has always existed, certification to become a postpartum professional is a newer concept. Widespread understanding of the unique and critical role modern Postpartum Doulas provide is being (re)defined.

Postpartum Doulas help parents physically, mentally, emotionally, and logistically and provide evidence-based benefits to the families they support.

This rapidly growing career is both needed and rewarding! Postpartum Doulas snuggle babies, support siblings, care for parents, and offer local resources. Join the movement to redefine postpartum support and become a Certified Postpartum Doula!

“The workshop was remarkable; I loved the flow of topics and I never had a minute of boredom! I was excited about all the little exercises because it helped implement the skills I learned right away.

It is such an honor to be (Krista’s) student on my first step of the journey to becoming a doula. ”
