BirthWorks International offers certification programs for childbirth educators, birth doulas, and postpartum doulas, as well as a combo ACED (Accelerated Childbirth Educator Doula) training. Human values form the foundation of our organization. The practice of human values leads to increased confidence and decreased fear in birth. We believe that all women are born with the knowledge about how to give birth. Therefore birth is instinctive. What is instinctive doesn’t need to be learned. Rather, we help women to have more trust and faith in their innate ability to give birth. This is a unique, innovative, and empowering approach to childbirth preparation. Our curriculum is comprehensive and includes exploring beliefs about birth, pelvic bodywork, Optimal Pelvic Positioning, physiology of birth, and grieving and healing. We offer both an academic and emotional preparation for birth. It is our mission and vision that all women feel empowered by their birth experiences.
