As you know, becoming a birth doula is just the beginning of a lifelong journey of learning and growth. The world of birth work is always evolving, and staying current through ongoing education is key to offering the best support to the families you serve.
That’s where BirthPro's Continuing Education Series comes in!

Special offer for BirthPro Doulas!
How can you help families in your community get evidence based care?
Here’s the deal: You and I both want evidence based care to be the “norm” for birthing families in our community. But on average, it takes 15 to 20 years for evidence to be put into practice. This situation is totally unacceptable! How can we speed up that gap so that families can get that care right here, right now?
Learn how to be a change agent in your community… and then also get the support you need right here in the Evidence Based Birth® professional membership. Standard membership is $69 monthly. BirthPro doula graduates can sign up for EBB Pro for only $29 per month for the first year! Savings of $480!

We welcome all who come with openness, humility, and a commitment to learning in community.
