Virtual 2024
Community Birth Sister/Doula Training
Class Begins July 30th
Since 2013 we have been training and supporting doulas nation wide! Our training is taught by Nicole Deggins, a Certified Nurse Midwife and experienced labor nurse with over 25 years of experience working with birthing families. Our training is full of insight and wisdom obtained while working directly on “the inside”. Based on the model of the community health worker, the SMP Community Birth Sister (doula) Training takes a multicultural approach and puts the experiences of black women at the forefront.
*Please note we use WOMEN centered language
Our training combines the physical, psychological, and spiritual aspects of pregnancy as we incorporate music, ritual and wisdoms from various Indigenous and African spiritual systems. At the end of this training you will understand why Nicole says Birth IS The Revolution!
