What is a doula anyway? 

In Greek "doula" means servant. 
Doulas support women and their families through the miracle of childbirth. The coaching and teaching doulas provide to parents during, before, or after childbirth requires much preparation on the part of the doula. Prospective parents want educated doulas. Our courses are built to train and support nurturing souls who want to serve families in welcoming new life to the world.  We also provide Christian parent classes online  in order to prepare you for the birth of your baby! 
 Catholic Doula's mission is to offer spiritual, prayerful, evidence based  doula curriculum for anyone interested in becoming a doula and also our parent education is based in same way! 
Read about benefits of doulas here. 
Catholic Doula offers doula training in 3 areas: birth, postpartum and bereavement  and Childbirth Education and Breastfeeding courses at Take Charge of My Birth School.   If you have schedule concerns , the birth and postpartum courses are offered with either a fast-pace or self-pace program pace.
