So you want to be a doula. Welcome!
I know you want to to do more than just learn how to be a doula; you want to become a successful doula. Well, let's get you started right now!
To become a successful doula, you need training and mentoring in the art and skills of doula-ing.
The problem is, there are so many programs to choose from, and they are expensive. What if you pick the wrong one? Or spend $1,000 only to find out being a doula isn’t for you?
You could end up frozen in the endless loop of scrolling and indecision, while your dream gets pushed off another day, month, or year. (How many years have you been wanting this???)
I believe anyone who wants to be a doula should be able to start training today.
Your doula training should be accessible, comprehensive, and affordable. And you should know it’s trustworthy.
I know what it’s like to want to get started, like, YESTERDAY. You’re excited and eager to go!
It feels like the universe is against you every time you can’t afford a training you see, or if you don’t have the time, money, or energy to travel to an in-person training, miss time at work or with your family, or devote to a months-long program.
That is why I took my comprehensive in-person birth doula training program, put it online, and made it inexpensive. It’s the same 42-hour curriculum that I offered for 15 years, in person, to over 2,000 doulas. I used to charge $800 or more for this course, and people would come from around the country to learn from me. But now you get it at your fingertips for a fraction of that price.

Carrie Kenner was, and is, the best instructor I have ever had the pleasure to meet. Her explanations are clear, her demeanor is very approachable and light, and she works hard to get the content across in different ways so that it is accessible to all.
Carrie's teaching abilities allowed the perspectives of myself and other students to be heard, clarified, and stretched. I always left class feeling inspired and with an open mind, a mind with space to explore, digest, and wonder more.
Carrie as a doula educator is in her element. She is a balance between heart, head, and instinct, exuding calm confidence with quick intellect, as well as current knowledge of all the intricacies of being a doula.
Carrie is an an amazing educational resource, so knowledgeable while also a wonderfully entertaining and engaging teacher. I very much enjoyed her teaching style...Carrie is also a great doula role model. Just being around her helps a new doula realize how all the training translates into a craft and how a good doula balances intuition, compassion, and professionalism.
Carrie is rich in knowledge and wise in spirit. I would highly recommend her trainings to anyone wanting to learn not only about birth, but also how navigate the ins and outs of the accompaniment role of a doula.
