Course Agenda
The Redemptive Childbirthâ„ Doula Certification Program is a faith-informed, evidence-based training designed to equip birthworkers with the skills, confidence, and spiritual grounding needed to support families through pregnancy, labor, and postpartum. Blending interprofessional collaboration with compassionate, culturally sensitive care, this program prepares doulas to serve alongside nurses, physicians, and community partners in both hospital and home settings. Graduates emerge ready to empower families with excellence, advocacy, and a redemptive vision of childbirth.
