Mission Statement of Catholic Doula is to offer a spiritual, prayerful, and evidence based doula training in 3 areas: birth, postpartum and bereavement. 
Magnificat Courses are also a subsidiary of Catholic Doula Program and are classes for anyone who wants information in childbirth education, fertility doula and upcoming Holistic Woman's Health course.
We also have Mommy Latch Breastfeeding course.

WHY TRAIN WITH CATHOLIC DOULA?

What is a doula? 

A doula is a trained "life coach" 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.
We have a new  "sister" course called Mommy Latch  in order to become a Breastfeeding Counselor-Educator!  (This course was previously known as BOOB educator).  
Learn more below about:   Why train with our program. We decided to move this information here in order to have more informative pages about our trainings on the respective pages. Thank you. 

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. 
Totally pro-life!
Marian based as well!
Non-Catholics are totally welcome! 

Original Parenting Language

The original parenting language applies to the course material.
Mother & Father
Breastfeeding (not chestfeeding)
No "abortion doula"
​No inclusive language. 
Respecting families. 

Jesus in Every Lesson and Mary!

The ability to learn so much more then doula instructions. Gifts of the Holy Ghost (Birth), Joys of Mary (Postpartum), Our Lady of Sorrows (bereavement) - Birth also has saints included too!  
​Non-denominational students are always free to skip saint sections or Marian doctrine. 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
​Live Zoom class will also have access to classroom and have less work assignments.

Pro-Life Pledge (example):
I (name)... pledge to uphold all life of human baby from moment of conception through death. I---(name)-- affirm that a zygote or fetus is a human life and deserves to live and die a natural death and not to be aborted. I --(name) -- will honor all human life and respect mothers. I (name) - will not participate in an abortion, help a mother obtain an abortion or even drive a mother to an abortion procedure clinic. I (name) can support a mother with any post recovery of any medical procedure (as above) with non-judgmental frame of mind. I (name) as a Catholic Doula will uphold Catholic Church teaching (and/or my personal beliefs if non-Catholic) of affirming life as a Pro-Life doula. 
Each student may make their own prolife pledge as this is just an example. Thank you so much. God bless.
