12-Week Trainings
Our 12-week Trainings are designed to give new and experienced doulas the tools and frameworks to approach birth work with a justice-based lens.
We prioritize accessibility and flexibility. All live classes take place on Zoom and include automated closed captions in English. Additionally, our live sessions are recorded and shared on our learning platform, allowing students to participate how and when they can.
