If the idea of supporting families through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum has been lingering in your thoughts — maybe for months or even years — this may be the year you listen more closely.

Many people who are drawn to doula work are not starting from scratch. They are parents, caregivers, educators, healthcare-adjacent professionals, yoga teachers, therapists, or people who have walked through meaningful birth experiences of their own.

Doula work often grows out of lived experience — a desire to walk alongside others in moments that are vulnerable, transformative, and deeply human.

At Nurture, we believe doula training should reflect that depth.
