Welcome to the Work!
As a birth doula, you will apply your intuition, strength, calming presence, spirit of encouragement and practical knowledge of comfort measures to make birth smoother and easier for growing families.
Who can become a doula?
Who can become a doula?
The role of the doula is a non-medical one, and can be filled by any compassionate, sensitive, willing person who has the experience and/or training to support the family. Warm Welcome has trained doulas ages 16-65+, those who are parents and those who have never birthed. After the workshop, participants begin attending births.

The effects of doula care are long-lasting, profound, and measurable. Studies show an increase in rates of vaginal birth, less need for medical interventions, less requests for pain meds, higher rates of parent satisfaction, and more.

"I am so inspired!
I love the way you listen, teach, move, and see BIRTH. I feel so honored to have had four days with you focusing on women...
I thank you deeply for all you have shared."

2021 Update: Doula Training in the time of coronavirus
Yes: Birth doula work is still happening. I continue to support doula clients as they prepare for birth, during their births, and afterwards. As a potential client said to me on the phone recently, "I need a doula now more than ever!" Doulas are creating solutions for how to safely provide this desperately needed support, how to fairly charge for our work in these times, and make sure clients have a good start with their babies.
Call or email me to learn about becoming a doula in 2021 or adding pandemic-ready skills and approaches if you are already a doula.
