Do you have a pregnant loved one who has asked you to support them during their birth? If you’ve wondered whether you need to attend a full birth doula training, we have good news– unless you’re considering a career as a doula, a full training goes beyond what you’ll need to support your friend or family member during labor.
That’s why we’ve created Labor Support 101, a specialized workshop designed for nonprofessionals. This class will give you the essential knowledge and skills to confidently assist your loved one through labor and birth—without committing to a full doula certification. (And who knows, maybe you’ll love it so much that you decide to attend a full training at some point and become a Professional Birth Doula!)
This 8-hour Labor Support 101 course is offered in either two 4-hour sessions or 3-evening sessions for only $275, a fraction of the cost of full doula training. You’ll learn from Janine Maitri, the founding director of Sierra Childbirth Institute and a seasoned birth doula trainer with over 30 years of experience.
Time 9:30 am – 12:30 pm PST
Investment $85.00

The 3-hour session includes interactive Q&A segments, equipping doulas with the tools to advocate for their clients and effectively communicate with healthcare providers.
