Postpartum Doula

WHY TRAIN WITH CATHOLIC DOULA?

THE ONLY & ORIGINAL CATHOLIC DOULA TRAINING

The Catholic Doula Program was the first of its kind, an original way for doulas to be trained with Christ. One of the only kinds on the market.

Original Parenting Language

The original parenting language applies to the course material.
Mother & Father
Breastfeeding
No Abortion/IVF etc...

Jesus in Every Lesson

The ability to learn so much more then doula instructions. Joys of Mary - coming soon to postpartum we will be adding in more about Virtues such as Patience and Postpartum, etc. (update will be late 2022-2023).
Non-denominational students are able to opt-out of Marian sections. Thank you.

Small Class Sizes

Small classes give you the opportunity for more one-on-one communication with the trainer. Giving you ample time to spend with her, and ask any questions you might have.
Self-pace classroom on Thinkific *for current class. Live class options can access classroom if so desired. Live class has less assignments.
