Would you like to become a postpartum doula? 
We now are offering a zoom class for postpartum starting in March - class will start around March 6-April 24th - Mondays or Wednesdays (dates to be decided) - we work within time zone schedule - so late afternoon or early evening is usually when class meets.  There will be one week off for Easter week.

What's included in the super fast-track course? 
What is included? 
  • Comfort in Birth Method book (amazon) for new students - will be drop shipped must signup early for guaranteed delivery. You should start reading early. Though late birds will still need to read the book. 
  • 7 modules and 6 meeting times with the students - we will meet over 2 weeks MWF or possible T/TH/SAT - so we will work with students on good timing.
  • Possible guest speakers
  • PDF of Guide to getting started as a doula 
  • Business PDF book - Doing Business the Doula Way is available to send to you free. Any print copies you must purchase.
  • Mentorship time - for this super fast track you receive ONE HOUR FREE after the class is done - you may divide that into 2 slots if so desired. ​
  • Sorry Rebozo is NOT included in this winter session of the class. See expectations section for discount code from Lola My Rebozo.
What's the difference between super Fast Track and self-pace birth doula? (Note we also offer postpartum fast-track)
We work with you more one-on-one with live zoom classes. You will have your teacher there to answer any questions. Expectations are higher with live class - to work in a more timely manner. You get some extra mentoring included. Note: Homework can be done after class is finished.  You have one year to finish your course, but we think you can finish in a 2 months with homework, etc. If doing "live births option" for purposes of doing Medi-Cal -then you will need to participate in 3 births in order for us to put that on your certification. Our program now qualifies for Medi-Cal in California! So, that may take awhile and we will extend any time you need for that. 
Birth Doula self-pace has less interaction with teacher (though I will comment or help  in class), there  are other students to interact with in the classroom and you don't have mentoring (unless you pay extra for that). 
Postpartum fast-track is similar to above. 
What's the Cost? And can I do a Payment plan?
The cost is $550 - we have a $400 special going on right now as early bird.  Our real regular value of this class is $700 - so you are getting a good deal either way for this class. There is NO rebozo included because we reduced the price. You may choose to buy one from Lola My Rebozo (see expectations section) or you can ask us to get you one and send funds extra for that. 
How payment plan works:  You may put down $105 down and then we will schedule them on a monthly basis or you can do every other week as another option. Thank you. You are also may pay off the payment plan at anytime you desire. Thanks. 
​What are expectations of the students? 
​Expectations of students:
  • 1. We will assign readings ahead of time – so make sure you have read the books before coming to the live class. And modules will be expected to be read. 
  • 2. Our class will take up discussions from modules only - so I may say turn to slide # or section # of the slide and then maybe read something short and then we discuss. 
  • 3. Guest speakers - we may add in guest speakers for some of our doula classes for live time slots - please be prepared for this (I am hoping to do this once at least per class session). Note: We may have guest speakers at any time and the time slot may change for guest speaker appearances - please be flexible enough to come when we can arrange a guest speaker for our live classes. 
  • 4.  Time of classes - Try to be on time -but also be flexible - sometimes we have to move back a time on class - but usually we aim to be there when we set time for that day. Thank you. 
  • 5. We expect you to interact with the other students and to collaborate on projects if so desired. We may even do some "role play" during a live class time.
  • 6. We may demonstrate various skills during live class - for birth it will be birth or comfort skills and/or Level A rebozo workshop and for postpartum we will demonstrate postpartum skills like swaddling a baby to other things like that. Plus, postpartum rebozo maybe included*(check with instructor on what is included at time of purchase).
  • 7. Waiver of things- if you join our live class -we waive a lot of assignments in the class and you can finish faster -  plus you can have a year to finish - but I think if you do all we ask you should be finished within a month or two after the fast-track meetings. If you are a current student, we hope to certify you if you are pretty much done with your regular work. 
  • 8. We also meet 6 meetings ONLY for the main class for live fast-track. If you signed up for bonus items like our business workshop - then that is a separate class date or recordings will be made available *(Live business workshop will be coordinated with a seasonal business workshop we offer). 
  • 9. Payment plan students -  All payment plans have a 4% fee attached or 5% fee. If choosing PayPal we do the lower one and Square is higher. Let us know what processing you prefer. We are attempting to do our best to support prolife causes, but we have decided to keep some PayPal on this site for ease of use and let our students decide which processing they prefer. Thank you. 
  • 10. What about a rebozo? You may email us about getting you a rebozo - it is NOT included in the class cost because we have reduced the pricing structure for January being close to Christmas - we decided to offer a special deal - so rebozos will have to be purchased separately. You can choose to get one at LOLA MY REBOZO site and use CatholicDoula10 for a 10% off deal if you like. Here's her website link:   https://lolamylove.com/collections/rebozo
What we would like to ask from students - please send us testimonials...?
  • We would like all our students to take course evaluations after the class and send testimonial if so desired. We appreciate that. Thank you.
What timing will I be finished? What are certification requirements
You can finish most of your work usually within 2-3 months - though some students take longer - we do not require you to be finished when the zoom class is over - you can take up to a year to finish if so desired or need be. If you are  going to take a break, please communicate with us - so we know and we will hold your spot so to speak in the course. 
​Certification requirements  are listed in module one of birth and postpartum doula classes - please ask for sample to see that. The certification requirements online may differ (which we hope to update) - so we suggest looking at the recent updates via the sample. Thank you. 
We have a clear no refund policy - most doula classes do not offer refunds - we are following that example. 
If you decide to drop out - please let us know -there are no refunds for drop outs, etc. We only allow gifting a course to a friend if you drop out within 30 days of signing up and you were paid up in full or if a friend wants to cover the rest of your payments we will consider that too.   
Continuing education - we usually encourage doulas to do 5-6 CEU's every other year (so like 3 a year) and report back to us that you did that. However, we do an on your honor system - but I would like to make it required to report to us soon. We will keep your listing up on our 2 doula sites as long as you have CEU"s - if you decide to not do them - then we have right to take your doula listing down for awhile.
