There’s Nothing Spooky About Online Doula Training!

October 31, 2019

There's Nothing Spooky About Online Doula Training!

Late Fall is the perfect time to start your online doula training with IDI. We promise there’ll be no tricks, just lots of treats!

Here at the International Doula Institute, we have created a helpful check list to make sure you have the best Halloween possible:

  1. Carve your jack-o-lantern
  2. Pour yourself a glass of apple cider
  3. Turn on some spooky music
  4. Go trick or treating
  5. Sign up for online doula training!

Today, October 31st, is the perfect day to pursue the career of your dreams, and here’s why:

Do What You Love

The most important reason to begin your online doula training is so you can pursue your passion! Whether you want to be a birth doula, or a postpartum doula (or both!) we’ve got you covered. When you complete your online doula training, you’ll be making a difference in the lives on moms and babies every day. Not even your favorite candy bar is sweeter than that!

Go at Your Own Pace

Online doula training allows to work at your own pace. By starting on Halloween, you could have your doula certification by the holidays. Can you imagine kicking off the New Year with a new career? Alternately, we know that people have busy lives. Online doula training allows you to fit in your course work when you can. Either way, with cooler weather moving in, it’s the perfect time to grab a pumpkin spice latte, open your laptop, and get started.

Collaborative Curriculum

At the International Doula Institute, we believe in a whole-family, multidisciplinary approach to becoming a doula. This is why our online doula training utilizes experts in complimentary fields – in other words, people who work with mothers and babies every day – as contributors to our comprehensive curriculum. Just like a plastic pumpkin filled with treats, you’ll get a taste of everything.

Business Basics

It takes more than passion to get your doula business off the ground. In addition to learning about pregnancy, postpartum, and baby basics, our online doula training also teaches business basics for doulas. You’ll learn about contracts, conducting client assessments, and how to get started building a website, among other things. Think of it like the adding the perfect finishing touch to your Halloween costume. We want you to feel fully prepared!

Help is Just a Phone Call or Email Away!

Just because our doula training is online, does not mean you’re alone! Once you sign up for your online doula training, you’ll have access to our trainers via phone and email if any questions arise. We want to see you succeed! Aside from that, you’ll have your peers to help you out. IDI’s learning platform allows for group discussions with other students, and you’ll have access to our exclusive Facebook community for IDI doulas, and doulas-to-be.

So, what are you waiting for? Don’t be afraid to begin your online doula training. Make this Halloween your most memorable yet!
