You have a heart to serve...
I started studying birth outcomes in 1994, for a college paper. Years later I had my own home birth. I’ve been attending births since 2013, and I’ve trained more than 600 birth workers since then. What I remember most from starting out is how much I needed someone in my corner. So I built the training and community I wanted back then.
Birth workers who love the research and the advocacy, whether you’re brand new or years in.
​
Perinatal health advocates who want real support while they train and build a practice.
​
People who show up for other birth workers, because we do better together.
What community actually looks like here
Weekly live mentoring calls
A private community space, any time you need it
Guest faculty who are still out there doing the work
Still part of this, long after you're certified.
Free 4-Part Series:
The Birth Worker You're Becoming
Four short emails for anyone who's quietly thought "I think I want to do this."
What the work actually looks like, the skills you're already carrying in, and exactly how people start. No birth experience required. No doula training required.
"Lorie brings wisdom, compassion, and practicality to every conversation. Her mentorship gave me the courage to step into doula work fully prepared."
– Brandi P., Certified Full Spectrum Doula
What's important to me
I affirm LGBTQ+ families and abortion as part of reproductive care, and I ask everyone in this training to look honestly at their own bias, including racism, transphobia, and cultural appropriation.
Community only works when everyone in the room is actually safe to be in it.
Seeing the humanity in the people we serve starts with being honest about where we still have blind spots ourselves. If this resonates, you're exactly who this training is for.
