Here's what people were saying about the Spring 2026 Birth and Postpartum Doula workshops at Harmony Doula Mentoring:

"Teri made this course extremely enjoyable, and I learned so much from her. She made the idea of becoming and practicing as a doula feel much less daunting than I had imagined it might be." - 5 stars

"I'm coming out of this with an excitement to honor and welcome other people as they are. Teri did a fantastic, consistent, and authentic job modeling how life really plays out and how we as doulas can respond and meet any moment. I really enjoyed her class and will recommend it to anyone I meet who is interested in pursuing a doula training class. Thank you so much!" - 5 stars

"Instructor was well prepared and provided real life scenarios to help us make practical application of what we were learning. She frequently referenced how applying what we were learning can help us if we are pursuing certification. The guided notes made it easy to follow along and retain important information for later. I've attended other birth and full spectrum classes in the past bur I like how our instructor clearly defined the roles between birth and postpartum and helped us to understand the value of lactation support in both roles. Because of attending this course I have a better understanding of how a [doula] can be the difference." - 5 stars

"This course was absolutely wonderful and made me feel so validated in my journey to be a doula" - 5 stars

"very informative and interactive. so polite. funny. transparent. replies to all questions. open to new information" - 5 stars

"We had a very diverse group in our class and our instructor did all the things in a way that felt authentic to who she is day to day. I appreciate that she didn't try to overdo it as I have seen a lot. She spoke to what needed to be spoken to, used inclusive language through out, while being mindful of the sensitivities of others." - 5 stars
