About The Course

  Indigenous Doula Certificate Course

This Indigenous doula training is a four-day, in-person learning space for those called to support birth in ways that honor land, lineage, and community care.


Participants will learn practical skills to support pregnancy physically, emotionally, and culturally before, during, and after birth.


Each day is intentionally structured to guide participants through essential aspects of Indigenous birthwork informed by ancestral knowledge. The training moves through four core areas that reflect how birthkeeping has been practiced and carried forward across generations. These teachings come from knowledge passed through lineage, shaped by ancestral wisdom, and grounded in a close relationship with the land and its medicines.


The course emphasizes hands-on learning through activities, workshops, storytelling, and real-world application.


Location: 87 Acre Food Forest, 1.5 hours from Atlanta (address provided upon registration)
