We believe doula and NCS certification needs an modern overhaul.
Accessibility
Traditional certification pathways can be time-consuming and expensive, making it difficult for many aspiring doulas to enter the field.
Relevance
Many programs focus on outdated methodologies, failing to keep pace with the latest research and best practices in birth care.
Flexibility
Modern doulas need more adaptable certification options that fit around their varied schedules and allow for online learning.
Recognition
Inconsistent standards across certification bodies lead to confusion and undervalue the essential role doulas play in maternal and newborn health.
Support
Doulas often lack sufficient mentorship or resources after certification, limiting their ability to grow professionally and sustain their practice.
Inclusivity
Current certification processes may not reflect diverse cultural practices and experiences, leaving out important voices in the doula community.
