"There is no better time
than now to become a Doula"
Being a doula is a work of the heart. Here at Golden Hour Birth Training Institute we teach you to show up as your best with compassion and confidence.
Our goal is to support aspiring doulas that are passionate about supporting expectant mothers and safeguarding their birthing experience.
Why become a Doula?
At Golden Hour Birth Doula Training Institute, we believe that every birthing person deserves to feel supported, seen and empowered and you deserve to be prepared to offer that support.
Our mission focuses on creating safe, sacred spaces for birthing families to birth their way, with confidence and peace of mind. “Her Hour Has Come” is more than our tagline, it’s a sacred declaration. It honors the transformative moment when a birthing person steps into their strength, and equally, when a doula steps into theirs.
