🦋 STATE-APPROVED DOULA TRAINING — ONLY 6 WEEKS AWAY! 🦋

I can hardly believe it! Time flies! In just six weeks, we’ll be starting our next 32-hour, in-person, Washington State-approved Doula Training in Olympia.

📅 October 10, 11, 17 & 18, 2026
📍 Olympia, WA
⏰ 9:30 AM–6:30 PM
🎓 32-hour in-person training

And I’m so excited to be teaching this training alongside my co-teacher, Stefanie Anderson❣️

We will also have several wonderful guest speakers joining us throughout the training, bringing their own expertise, experience, and perspectives to our classroom. Some of our guest speakers are already listed on our website, and we’ll be introducing and announcing more of them over the next few weeks. ✨

If you’ve been thinking about becoming a doula, maybe this is your sign to finally take the leap!

I absolutely love teaching this training because it’s not just about completing 32 hours and getting certified. We spend four full days learning, practicing, connecting, asking questions, laughing, and preparing you for the real world of supporting families through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.

And one of my favorite things about our program is that the support doesn’t end when the training is over. 💕

Doulas who train with us have the opportunity to:

✨ Join our private Facebook group for doulas trained through our program
✨ Attend our monthly doula meetings for continued connection, support, and learning
✨ Take our Advanced Doula Skills classes to keep expanding your knowledge and confidence
✨ Become part of our doula referral network — when families reach out to us looking for a doula, we have the opportunity to refer them to doulas in our community
✨ Stay connected with a wonderful group of doulas who understand the joys (and challenges!) of this work

We really want our students to know that they’re not alone after they finish their training. You’re becoming part of a community. 🤍

This training will be held in a conference room at a local hotel, which is especially convenient for those traveling from out of town. You can stay overnight at the hotel and be right there for class in the morning — no commuting, no rushing! ☕️

I’ll be sharing some testimonials from our past students with this post. Reading their words about their experiences makes my heart so happy, and I think they give you a much better idea of what our training is really like. 🥰

Only six weeks! If becoming a doula has been on your heart for a while, now is the time to get registered.

I would LOVE to welcome you into our next training! 🫶

🦋 Registration is open for our October BBI
In person, State-Approved Doula Training 🦋
I’m excited to announce my next state-approved, in-person doula training through Blissful Birth Initiations (BBI)!

When: October 10, 11 - 17, 18
How long: 36 hours over two weekends
Where: Likely held at SPSCC

I am excited to teach with Stefanie Anderson RN, BSN IBCLC, again. She has co-taught the last three BBI cohorts with me and is truly nothing short of fantastic. We’ll also be joined by several amazing guest speakers.

- Certification through Blissful Birth Initiations
- This training qualifies you to become a state-approved doula
- Eligible to apply after state doula certification for ProviderOne and bill state insurance
✨ Early Bird Discount available if you register by August 10th! ✨

This is more than just a training. After completion, you’ll receive:
- Monthly BBI doula gatherings
- An active private Facebook group
- Participate for a fee in BBI advanced doula skills classes
- Option to enroll in 1:1 mentorship with me, Diksha Berebitsky (17+ years as a doula)
- Inclusion on the BBI-certified doula referral list once you are actively practicing

There truly hasn’t been a better time to become a doula. I receive weekly inquiries I can’t take, and families regularly share how difficult it is to find doulas who accept state insurance. The need is real.

If you feel called to birth work, whether as a part-time path or your main profession, I’d love to connect.
