Join the Doulaing The Doula Team As a Foundations Coach
Are you an experienced doula with tens of births under your belt? Do other people in your area see you as a leader and seek out your advice? Are you uncertain how to help new doulas, but want to?
Our Foundation Of Doula Practice Coaches are experienced doulas and emerging leaders who see the value of cultivating doula support for all peoples. We created this new position in the doula world to offer experienced doulas a structured curriculum that would help them build their own communities.
Foundations Coaching enables you to build an additional income stream and share your expertise at the same time. Position yourself as the go-to person for new doulas in your community!
We are especially interested in assisting Foundation of Doula Practice Coaches from historically oppressed communities to better nurture doulas in those communities. If you are from a group that is marginalized in the health care system, and you want to nurture doulas from that community, we want to work with you!
Do you see yourself as a birth or postpartum doula trainer?
We are looking for experienced doulas with strong teaching, mentoring, and small-group facilitation skills. As a DTD trainer, you’ll guide participants from training through certification and their first years of practice.
We provide a twenty-five hour Trainer Mentoring Program, including an extensive manual of teaching and small group resources, as well as access to all teaching resources. Our model supports new doulas who are committed to the profession while creating multiple income streams for DTD Faculty Members.
We encourage you to explore our Standards of Practice, Code of Ethics, and Decolonization Statement.
