What exactly is a doula?
A doula’s role is to provide non-medical, holistic support to the mother and father. She provides this support through physical, emotional, and educational means.
She also helps the mother advocate for herself by facilitating communication between expectant parents and medical care providers to encourage informed decision-making.

The Birth Restored Doula Certification program takes a multistep approach to fully educate, equip, and empower its certified doulas.
A doula provides educational support. Birth Restored doulas are also fully certified childbirth educators. Unlike many doula programs, Birth Restored equips its doulas with more than superficial knowledge about birth.
A doula provides physical support. As a Birth Restored doula, you will be competent in supporting your client with science-based comfort measures and precise position changes to help facilitate labor progress or overcome labor challenges.
A doula provides emotional support. Birth Restored doulas learn how to emotionally support their clients, incorporating prayer and encouragement to reassure and comfort mothers during labor.
IN THE EDUCATOR + DOULA CERTIFICATION COURSE:
You will start with the Birth Restored Childbirth Educator certification. You will finish the educator training with a deep understanding of physiological childbirth, the medical process of birth, scripture-based Biblical theology regarding birth, and so much more.
Next, you will work through the Birth Restored Doula certification section. In this section, you will learn how to support your clients through every stage of labor and birth. How to provide comfort, encouragement, support, advocacy, address labor challenges, and so much more.
Last, you will learn how to grow your business. You will learn branding and marketing techniques, how to build a website, and how to network and gain clients. You finish your training with all the skills you need to thrive as a doula.
