Postpartum Doula

As a Postpartum Doula you have the unique privilege of sharing the journey a family takes when a new baby has arrived. As a Childbirth International Postpartum Doula you know that you will also have training that provides you with a strong knowledge base, an amazing network of support from other students and trainers, and the confidence to provide a family with skills to enable them to enjoy these early days.

Experience the joy of working with new families!

Many families find the initial weeks after the arrival of a baby to be particularly challenging - learning how to care for a new baby, helping siblings adjust, getting some much needed rest! As a Postpartum Doula you can  make this transition easier, enabling parents to enjoy the early days with their baby and discover the parenting techniques that work for them.

Studying with Childbirth International means you will have the flexibility and convenience of being able to study from the comfort of your own home. You can study a Childbirth International course in any country. Our students are currently found in 54 countries across the world!

If you want to help women, believe that support in those crucial early days is important, and want more than a 2-3 day introduction that a workshop provides, this is the Postpartum Doula training and certification program for you!
