What we know about being a doula...
People ask us all the time
“What training should I do to become a doula?”
“What is the best training to take”
“What training prepares you the most?”
The honest answer is, I am not sure anything can prepare you for how heavy this work is.
We are talking about the BIGGEST day of peoples lives, and they are usually scared af.
They are looking to you for calm, for reassurance, to be seen and heard by you… they may even be hoping you advocate for them.
The work is done at the births
The learning is done in the moment, every time
You will learn something every single birth you attend and you will NEVER have it all figured out
What I know for sure is you need community, you need people in your corner who understand birth, trauma, and what it’s like to witness it all.
You need mentors, coaches who understand what you’re going through, but also understand you need provide for your family and not give away your time for free.
You need someone in your corner who will celebrate with you, help you thrive, and lead you to even bigger successes.
If you’re looking for MORE in your doula career, we have what you need.
