A Two-Day Professional Training for Nurses
This two-day, comprehensive, real-world program is designed for nurses who want to transition into or expand their professional doula work with confidence, clarity, and strong ethical grounding.
Breakfast, lunch, refreshments, and healthy snacks are provided.
Expand your impact. Deepen your care. Earn the living your experience deserves.
You already understand birth.
You’ve supported labor, witnessed strength, and held space during some of life’s most important moments.
Many nurses begin to feel called to offer something more — the kind of personal, continuous support families need beyond the medical model.
This is where nursing meets doula care.
This two-day Nurse to Doula Training bridges your clinical knowledge with what families need most outside the hospital system: presence, advocacy, education, and trust.
More than additional education, this training is a professional evolution — because the nurses who become doulas are often the ones families remember for a lifetime.
• Labor & Delivery, Postpartum, NICU, OB, or Pediatric nurses drawn to deeper birth support
• Nurses seeking greater autonomy, connection, and flexible income
• Care providers who want to support families before, during, and after birth
This program honors the experience nurses already bring to birth work while expanding the relational and emotional skills that define excellent doula care.
You will learn how to:
• Build on your clinical foundation while shifting into a supportive, non-medical role
• Offer emotional presence, relational care, and respectful advocacy
• Support physiologic birth as well as medical or complex births
• Navigate hospital dynamics while protecting the family’s voice
• Create ethical, independent doula work in New York City
This training also includes mentorship on the business and professional side of doula work, including:
• Writing professional emails and communicating with clients
• Billing, invoicing, and managing payments
• Creating contracts and setting clear boundaries
• Developing website ideas and marketing your services authentically
• Preparing for doula interviews and consultations
• Building referral relationships and connecting with clients
• Creating a sustainable and respected income in birth work

This is a grown-ups-only course. Children are not able to attend. We recommend arranging childcare so you can focus fully on the training.
Snacks and refreshments will be available throughout the day. If you have allergy or dietary needs, please let us know when registering.
Breakfast and lunch are provided. There will be a one-hour midday break on both days.
