How is Doula Coaching Different from Doula Training?

Doula Training and Certification is typically the first step into doula work. Doula coaching is a bit different because it’s the guidance you need as you’re putting your work into action after training is over. Doula trainings can leave you feeling excited and also overwhelmed as you set off to actually do this work.

A coach should help you sort through your own approach as a doula, brainstorm and hammer out packages, help you figure out your next steps, etc. Of course, just like doulas, doula coaches all operate a little bit differently, but generally the coach should be a guide - a doula for you as you launch this business.

There are a few different aspects of doula coaching. One is individual coaching. One-on-one coaching that leads to understanding the details of your work and where you are starting from and going. The second is group coaching or teaching to guide you and offer opportunities for growth in a group setting. And moral and educational support throughout the process. 

Key Takeaways:

  • A doula coach does not replace doula training or certification

  • A doula coach is essentially a doula for your doula business!

  • A good coaching program should involve a variety of aspects to support you!
