What are people saying ?

  • “I did my DONA birth doula training as well as the 6 month mentorship with the Doula Love Training Center. Wendy is an amazing and knowledgeable teacher who strives to help doulas on their path in birthwork. Joining the mentorship was the best thing I've done for my career so far. Not only did it give me practical skills for attending births, but it also gave me guidance on how to start my business in a way that is sustainable for me and my family. I recommend Doula Love's trainings and mentorships to anyone that wants to get into doula work.”

It was just the spring board I needed to launch my doula career. I am now fully booked out for months in advance, feel very well trained and mentored, and have had so much success and happy clients.
