Who is this training for?Â
This training is designed for doulas and birth workers who want to expand their skills, deepen their impact, and feel more confident supporting clients through pregnancy loss, grief, and pregnancy after loss.
Whether you do birth, postpartum, or full-spectrum doula work, you will encounter grief. Even if a loss doesn’t happen during your time with a client, you may support someone who is pregnant after loss, parenting after loss, or navigating postpartum after a pregnancy that followed a loss.

This training is for you if:
- You want to feel more prepared when a client experiences loss
- You support clients pregnant after loss and want to understand how to show up better
- You’ve avoided taking on loss clients because you weren’t sure how to help
- You want to grow your skillset and offer a higher level of care
- You’re building a sustainable doula business that honors every outcome
Deepen your impact by adding this essential knowledge to your toolbox.
