Mission Statement of Catholic Doula Program - to offer Catholic Christian based doula training that is affordable and pro-life based for any woman to enroll. We occasionally offer St. Gemma partial scholarships. Our program also offers parent classes that are Christian/Catholic based that are unique and a great way to study and prepare for childbirth. 
Do we price match our competitors?  We will price match certain companies - please ask and we will match a price if we are higher within reason. Thank you.

What is a doula? 

A doula is a "servant" (doula means servant in Greek) and a professional who helps mother in the most important time of her life - pregnancy through birth and postpartum time!  Our program trains doulas in a spiritual, prayerful way to help mothers from birth thru postpartum time. We also have a bereavement doula course.
We also have add-on Magnificat Courses: Fertlity doula and Childbirth Educator.

Julie Larsen

Owner of Catholic Doula Program 

I have a Bachelor's of Consumer Sciences from Stephen F. Austin State University, and I went on to obtain a Master's of Library Sciences at Texas Woman's University. After graduating, I took some time to do more studies and got married. I finally took my doula training in 2010-2011 with Birth Arts International and HypnoBabies. I also studied with Madriella Network in 2014 and 2017. Attended a wide variety of births and did some postpartum work from 2011-2020. I am semi-retired from doing births and postpartum work. I now mostly full-time teach doulas and occasionally take virtual clients or in person clients as I have time.  
I also have the following other credentials: HERBAL Peer Counselor around 2021, Fabulous Body Academy: Holistic Nutritional Coach 2022, Life Coach, Herbal Studies, Naturopathic Practitioner-2025 and more. 
I am also author of a few books: Doing Business the Doula Way, Comfort in Birth Method, A Catholic Postpartum, and others.
