  Become A Doula

    While there are many organizations that train doulas, DAMA feels that DONA International
    CAPPA, and ICEA have a strong history of comprehensive training and continuing education
    requirements that result in producing and maintaining professional doulas.  Achieving
    professional certification is a process that requires considerable time and effort.

    Feel free to contact any of the doulas you find on our website to talk with them about their
    experiences as a doula.  We also encourage you to read things to consider before you
    embark on the path towards certification. Hopefully this will give you a better idea of whether
    or not you can make a commitment to serving mothers, newborns and families as a certified
    doula.

    There are many steps to follow for those who want to be a professional birth or postpartum
    doula, so we encourage you to check out the current requirements for becoming a certified
    doula at DONA International, CAPPA, or ICEA.
