Pathway Three: Previously Training/Certified Doulas

Birth Beautifully gives credit to doulas who are either:
√Currently certified with another doula organization (dual certification) 
√Previously certified another doula organization (lapsed)
√Trained with another doula organization (never completed certification)
How is this pathway different? 
The doula will still need to take a Birth Beautifully training, however, there are less certification requirements:
  • Births previously attended will count toward certification
  • Observation of a childbirth education and breastfeeding class previously will also count toward certification​
Requirements:
The doula must show proof of: 
  • Doula Training 
  • Birth attendance (if applicable)
  • Childbirth education observation (if applicable)
  • Breastfeeding class observation (if applicable)
