Are you inspired to support women and their families to have empowering and positive birth experiences?
Become a BirthWorks International certified Birth Doula!

Receive a high quality, premium, comprehensive training, that brings a unique, experiential approach of Human Values to birth through integration of the mind, body, and spirit. Learning includes the Four Principles of Optimal Pelvic Positioning that empower and transform a birth experience.

As a Birth Doula, your continuous presence with a laboring woman helps her feel safe. This allows labor to progress and a shorter labor means fewer interventions. Our innovative program instills confidence that the knowledge about how to give birth is born within every woman. Birth is instinctive. What is instinctive doesn't need to be learned.  Rather, we help women to have more trust and faith in their body wisdom that already knows how to give birth.  

CATHY DAUB is the Founder of BirthWorks International and has taught childbirth education and doula workshops nationally and internationally for over 20 years. Cathy believes birth is an integration of mind, body, and spirit and dedicates her life to helping women and children reach their full human potential. Cathy is also a pediatric physical therapist, a certified Maya Abdominal Massage therapist, a certified in pelvic bodywork, trained in techniques of myofascial release and teaches human values, all of which she incorporates into her workshops. She is the author of Birthing in the Spirit book, and the author of all BWI's childbirth educator and doula manuals and workbook. She is also contributor to magazines like Midwifery Today and Pathways to Wellness. Cathy’s passion for birth keeps growing, especially given the new primal health research - showing that what babies experience from conception to one year impacts health into adulthood.
