Certified Global Doula/ Certified Labor Doula

CGD/CLD

“Supporting families in the joy of having a positive childbirth experience”


Becoming a birth doula provides you with the most fulfilling role — supporting people in experiencing the joys and hardships of bringing life into the world. As a doula you are given a unique opportunity to provide love, support and care to birthing people in their most vulnerable time in life.


Being a birth doula is more than encouragement or holding a hand during labor. Most of the actual work is done before labor ever starts! From understanding how to choose the right care provider, learning about options, preparing physically and emotionally for birth or managing unexpected events, a birth doula can provide educational and emotional support to the mother and family to prepare for a positive birth experience.


Why become a Certified Global Doula/Certified Labor Doula™?


We value and promote the amazing job doulas do in supporting families and seek to provide both support in their practices as well as tools to maintain and increase the quality of their work. By becoming a Certified Global Doula/Certified Labor Doula.


In order to become a Certified Global Doula/Certified Labor Doula™ we evaluate your knowledge and make sure that you have a solid understanding with emphasis on evidence-based practice in the areas mentioned and know how to apply your knowledge within the scope of practice of a doula. We also offer a mentorship program to our certified members, to provide you with support and guidance after you have become a CGD/CLD.
