COMPONENTS TO YOUR Birth Labor Doula COURSE
7 Gifts of the Holy Ghost! And Saints!
Our Course includes the 7 Gifts of the Holy Ghost and how they relate to doula work - for instance "Gift of Fear of the Lord" - we show mothers how to not fear labor and to let go of fears.
There are usually various "saints" of each modules - some to go along with our Gifts of Holy Ghost - like Bl. Maria Taigi is known as a Saint of Wisdom.

Comfort in Birth Method Book
Your textbook is written by your main instructor and this book is powerful and packed with information to help you understand and learn "Comfort in Birth Method" in order to use this with your doula clients - so technically you are also a "Comfort in Birth Method" certified doula (as this is a separate non-denominational course ) and you may request an extra certificate stating this if so desired! This textbook is included in all packages!
Self-pace modules to go through (or fast-track)
We have updated our class to reflect that modules will be the same for both classes - self-pace and fast-track. The difference is the amount of work load. We waive more things in fast-track class. You receive 7 modules.
- First Module: Intro to doula work, timeline of childbirth history assignment, and more!
- Second module: Prayer and spirituality of doula work plus overview of bereavement.
- Third module: Communication and Care providers plus stages of labor.
- Fourth Module: Pain vs. suffering - begin comfort techniques.
- Module five: Using your B.R.A.I.N. and Art of Care.
- Module Six: Challenges of Labor -comfort part b.
- Module 7: Wise choices for postpartum time . Mini-business included.
What else can be included in my class?
- M.O.M. Advocate Breastfeeding Course (this is to start breastfeeding groups - more for experienced in breastfeeding) or Basic Breastfeeding Class for a doula who is not experienced or wants a refersher class. The basic class meets once a season or as needed.
- Rebozo shawl depending on package (not all packages include rebozo) - see package information here (link coming soon)
- Business doula workshop/modules - this might be a choice between this and our rebozo workshops.
- Rebozo Workshop Level A is usually included in class (recording or live depending on our schedule) and Rebozo Workshop Level B can be added in as part of the other packages.
