Service Description

Hands-On Training for Confident, Faith-Centered Birth Support This 5-hour in-person workshop is designed for aspiring and practicing doulas who want to build hands-on confidence in supporting laboring women using faith-centered, evidence-based, and culturally respectful techniques. You'll learn how to bring presence, purpose, and practical skill into birth spaces — whether you’re new to birth work or want to expand your current doula practice with more intentional, embodied support.
