Become a Birth & Postpartum Doula

Family Trees Doula School
Our comprehensive curriculum is professional and inspiring preparing each new doula to step into their own practice fully prepared to care for a family.  Doula School curriculum covers birth and postpartum doula support. 

Doula School is a combination of sychronous and asychronous learning. While it is meant to be flexible for any schedule, students are given a calendar to complete coursework. 

16-week online coursework (synchronous & asynchronous) 
Evidence Based Birth (R) Higher Education Program 
Significant reading list
​Optional hands-on birth doula skills workshop

In addition to a 16 week in-depth, interactive training, we offer on-going continuing education opportunities and support throughout your new career.  Our classes are taught by a certified doula and qualified, experienced educator.   This affordable program is dedicated to empowering all people pursuing this profession.  


About Family Trees
We believe that childbirth is a normal, biological part of life and that evidence-based care and compassionate support during pregnancy and birth is a basic human right for everyone.
 
Family Trees seeks to educate professional, caring doulas who will support all families with respectful and personalized care, while making significant contributions to the doula profession. 
 
Classes begin in February, June, and September and consist of didactic course work and online webinars.  In-person training seminars are held throughout the year.
 
A cohort of students working to support one another through their training and beyond sets our program apart from other doula training organizations.  While providing labor support is our key role, doulas must have additional skills to have a successful practice.  Doulas are business owners, researchers, teachers, writers, website designers, and so much more.  Doulas must be able to speak to medical professionals, understand research, write thoughtful, evidence based papers, present topics of interest to other professionals, organize events, yet maintain caring hands when called to a birth.  Our program develops professional job skills for the successful doula.

Expand your skills by learning additional modalities that support childbirth, further your midwifery knowledge (as it applies to your scope of practice), and more.

Birth Doula

Birth Doulas form close bonds with families while providing education during the prenatal period and physical and emotional support during labor and birth.  Birth Doulas witness the birth of a new family.
Picture

Postpartum Doula

Postpartum Doulas mother the new mother.  Historically, women have always supported one another during the childbearing years.  Postpartum doulas provide extra support for the new family.
