Train as a Doula & Birth Wellness Coach
A Professional Apprenticeship Pathway for Doulas and Birth Workers
Competency based doula training, structured doula mentorship, and Department of Labor approved, doula apprenticeship pathways for ethical, sustainable careers in perinatal health.
This Is Not a Weekend Training.
This Is Workforce Development for Birth Work.
Holistic Birth Pros is a professional training and doula certification organization dedicated to preparing doulas and perinatal health professionals for real world practice, not just certification.
Our programs are built as structured pathways, combining education, mentorship, supervised experience, and professional standards to support long term, ethical work in perinatal health.
This is not a hobby course.
This is preparation for responsibility.

• Required documentation and charting
• Real world client exposure
• Ethical and trauma informed care standards

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR ALIGNMENT
Apprenticeship Matters

• Clear role definitions
• Structured supervision
• Progressive skill development
• Accountability and evaluation
• Preparation for professional practice
This alignment sets our programs apart from informal or unregulated trainings.
WHO THIS IS FOR
This Program Is For You If
• You want to work professionally as a doula or perinatal health worker
• You value mentorship, structure, and accountability
• You are seeking more than a certificate
• You are prepared for responsibility and ethical practice
• You want to serve families competently and sustainably
This Program Is Not For You If
• You want a quick credential without supervision
• You are not interested in mentorship or standards
• You are unwilling to engage in documentation or evaluation
• You are looking for influencer style training without accountability
WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT
We Train trauma informed Practitioners who are rooted in the midwifery model of care and physiological birth.
Holistic Birth Pros was built to address gaps in the maternal health system by preparing birth workers who are:
• Skilled
• Supported
• Accountable
• Community rooted
We believe the maternal health crisis cannot be addressed through inspiration alone. It requires competent people, trained well, and supported properly.
Why Perinatal Support Matters
You’re Here for a Reason…
You know this work is sacred. You are not seeking a program that prepares you to blend into the same systems that created the maternal health crisis. You are here to be part of the solution.
You want:
A clear path to certification and deep confidence
Training that honors trauma, systemic barriers, and lived experience
Mentorship and community that stays with you long after your training
You are ready to make a difference. You are looking for a launchpad that honors your calling and prepares you to serve with skill, dignity, and sacred presence.
