Created with YOU in mind…

We created the Catalyst training after listening to the concerns of many aspiring doulas who didn’t get what they needed from the “typical” trainings on the market. Doula work is high-stakes and like so many other roles, you can’t learn all the essentials you’ll need with just a couple weekend trainings. That’s why so many people who take a “weekend warrior” doula training never actually step into doula work. You deserve better- with the Catalyst training, you’ll get what you’re looking for. Training with us is an investment that will pay off as you successfully step into your role as a SKILLED, CONFIDENT doula. How does it work and what can you expect?

  • You get an intersectional, equity and justice-focused training that tells you the truth about how many layers of oppression in the US have led to reproductive injustices– and gives you the insight you need to be part of the solution.
  • A flexible training schedule. Pair your self-paced online modules (80%) with your choice of dates for live skill drills (20%) to create a training schedule that fits your busy life! When you enroll, you get a full YEAR of access to the training modules and skill drills. We cover everything you need and more– and you choose the pace.
  • Live skill drills are included to make sure you get the hands-on practice you need to be confident and build necessary skills. The live skill drills are available to take several times each year in-person OR via live instruction online from anywhere.
  • We include business and marketing skills as well as individual mentorship to make sure that your doula business not only launches- but is successful. Other trainings leave you on your own to figure out how to launch your doula business, but we’re invested in making sure YOU get what you need to be successful.
  • Our rigorous curriculum includes comprehensive and essential skills that you’ll need as you step into professional doula work.
