New Doula? Feeling Discouraged? READ THIS

You were told clients wouldn’t ask how many births you’ve attended, just about your training.

But every inquiry asks for your experience, and when you say you haven’t attended a birth yet…

 -They ghost.

 -They want someone “more experienced.”

Here’s the truth:

Without childbirth education, doulas often get lumped in as “just another set of hands to squeeze hips.”

And the comparison game starts:

 “How many vaginal births have you helped someone have?”

 “How many successful VBACs?”

 “How many unmedicated births?”

 “How willing are you to stand up to a doctor or nurse?”

 “Will you advocate and protect, no matter what?”

 This dynamic puts doulas in an impossible position and it's not sustainable.

 Childbirth Education Changes the Landscape:

It makes you the expert, not the emergency response.

When you teach, you're no longer competing with exaggerated birth stats or unrealistic advocacy expectations.

You lead with wisdom, trust, and transformation; before labor even begins.

How Becoming a Childbirth Educator Sets You Apart:

 -Shows your expertise, not just your hands-on “birth count”

 -Positions you as an educator, not just a support person

 -Clarifies your stance on interventions, birth options, and consent

 -Empowers families before birth, reducing trauma and confusion

 -Builds trust and connection, making clients feel supported from day one

 -Shifts the focus from rescue to preparation

 -Opens additional income streams through teaching

 -Increases your visibility and credibility in your community

Most Doula Trainings Don’t Include CBE

And that’s a problem.

Many doulas leave their trainings equipped to care, but not equipped to teach.They can squeeze hips, offer emotional support, and hold space beautifully, but when it comes to educating and preparing families, they’re left uncertain or out of scope.

This creates a division between what doulas feel called to do, empower, educate, prepare and what they feel allowed to do.

But here’s the good news: You don’t have to stay stuck in that divide.
