About Us

& Our Mission

The Doula Training Academy was established to educate, inform and support doulas and birth workers across Australia, while providing high-quality doula training and professional development for those who feel called to support women through pregnancy, labour, birth and postpartum.

At the Doula Training Academy, we embrace the collective knowledge gained from professional doula training, tradition and experience, passing this wisdom down from generation to generation – much like a legend or folklore shared within a community of birth workers.

We recognise that being a doula is about much more than simply being present at a woman’s birth. Supporting families through pregnancy and childbirth requires compassion, knowledge and deep respect for each woman’s journey.

Being a doula means listening to a mother so you truly hear and acknowledge her hopes, fears and doubts. It means having open discussions to help her develop a birth plan that encourages autonomy, informed choices and confidence in her birthing experience.

It also means building genuine rapport and trust with both the mother and her partner, creating a supportive space where they feel heard, respected and empowered throughout pregnancy and birth.

At the Doula Training Academy, we believe that becoming a doula is an ongoing learning journey. Every day brings new insights and experiences that help birth workers grow in knowledge, humility and skill, enabling them to provide meaningful support to the families they serve.

No certificate on the wall can replace the steady hand, the listening ear and the calm presence of a doula who simply holds space for what is needed in that moment.
