WHY BECOME A BIRTH DOULA?

​

WHY TRAIN WITH BIRTHWORKS?

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.
