Pathway Three: Previously Training/Certified DoulasBirth 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)
