Our Community Birth Doula Training is designed to prepare students to support families through the childbirth journey while promoting confidence, informed decision-making, and positive birth experiences.

​

Throughout this training, students will explore the physiology of labor, prenatal education, comfort measures, labor positioning, birth planning, partner support, hospital procedures, postpartum recovery, and newborn care. Students will also learn about trauma-informed care, cultural humility, advocacy, communication with healthcare teams, and the unique challenges families may face when navigating the maternity care system.

​

Hands-on experience is an important part of your journey. Through our mentorship partnership with mOBiNurses Inc., students have the opportunity to gain practical experience by supporting four births under the mentorship program. Students who successfully complete all four mentored births through mOBiNurses Inc. will receive a $100 stipend for each client supported, totaling $400 for four completed births.

​

This mentorship experience is designed to help students build confidence, strengthen their doula skills, and apply what they learn in training while gaining valuable experience supporting families during labor and birth. Mentorship participation and stipend eligibility are subject to program requirements.

​

Our goal is to equip future community birth doulas with the knowledge, practical skills, and confidence needed to provide continuous emotional, physical, and informational support while respecting each family's values, preferences, and individual needs.

​

Whether you are beginning your journey in birth work or looking to deepen your understanding of community-based maternal support, CDA is here to help you build a strong foundation for serving families with compassion, professionalism, and purpose.

 

Learn how to support the birthing person, empower families, and make a meaningful difference in your community.
