Mission statement of Catholic Doula Program 2026...

Misson Statement of Catholic Doula Program: To form and equip Catholic doulas through affordable, Christ-centered training that honors the sanctity of every human life, strengthens and supports motherhood, and prepares women to serve families with truth, compassion, and unwavering pro-life conviction.
We also provide parent childbirth education through https://catholicchildbirth.com or this website and continuing education too. 

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.
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.

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.
