  • Welcome!

    This an in-person combined Birth Doula + Prenatal Yoga Teacher Training. We will dive deep into how to hold the container of pregnancy + birth through doula support and movement.

    Taught over the course of 9 full days in Longmont + Niwot, Colorado.

    Training modalities include: Participation in live lectures with Haley + Jessica and additional guest lecturers on the ins-and-outs of working with mamas throughout this transformative time.

    Doula Training: You will learn about pregnancy and birth support through the lens of the 4 pillars of doula support: Emotional, Physical, Advocacy and Educational support. You will also learn how to conduct client visits, how to resource your clients, how to manage your life, nervous system and schedule as a birth worker, and MORE!

    Prenatal Yoga Training: Training for Prenatal Yoga Teachers will include how to write class sequences tailored to the pregnant body, how to theme your class and create community for students, how to strengthen, soften and open the pregnant body in preparation for birth. In addition trainees will learn how to provide both physical and mental exercises to help students prepare for the experience of giving birth.


    A book list and manual will be provided for the course and will help you stay resourced as you set up your doula and yoga practices.

  • Training as a birth doula in combination with prenatal yoga teacher training will not only equip you with an incredible amount of knowledge to support pregnant and birthing mamas, but you'll also leave set up to build a successful business. One of the hardest parts of becoming a doula is finding consistent clients, and prenatal yoga puts you in front of them (and vice versa)! We will spend additional time looking at the ins and outs of running a successful birth worker business.

    Additionally, many doula trainings do not address how to manage your life as a doula. We will dive deep into how to not only build your business but also the body (your body) to hold it all. This includes managing an on-call schedule, nervous system support, daily practice rituals, building community...all of the things that are typically only learned after years of practicing (or maybe not at all!)
