about Postpartum Doula Training
Our Doula School Postpartum Doula Training program is 24+ hours of in class (virtual) learning. Our DONA International approved training is the first step on your journey to supporting families as a certified Postpartum Doula.
This interactive and live training will equip you with tools to empower and support families throughout their pregnancies and labor which we believe is very needed in this world. Covering a variety of topics, from the importance of bonding, breastfeeding, emotional support, and a whole lot more – we feel that it’s the most comprehensive doula training available.
I was the director of postpartum services at the Chapman Family Center from 2005 till 2008 which included assistant teaching of birth and postpartum doulas as well as running the postpartum doula agency. In 2007 I became a DONA International approved postpartum doula trainer. The Bastyr University in San Diego welcomed me to their faculty in 2013 as a postpartum doula trainer until they closed their doors in 2015.
In short, my passion about all things pregnancy and postpartum knows no bounds and I strongly believe in a culture where birth is just, inclusive and free of fear. I live with my husband in Los Angeles and gave birth to our son in 2006 via surgery and in 2007 to our second son at home. My pronouns are she/her.
