"This was one of the greatest experiences I've ever had. I'm so thankful to have met all of these women and that Darla is my mentor.”

"Excellent comprehensive training, especially for a new postpartum doula. Darla is welcoming, professional, enthusiastic and willing to help. I enjoyed the course!"

Darla was not only a wonderful doula trainer, but continues to be an incredible resource and mentor. Her approach to training was rooted in authenticity. She connects with her students in an easy-going and genuine way. She made me feel like this work needed me and I needed it. Darla has a way of linking community together in a truly unique and thoughtful way. I am so thankful to have crossed paths with her. I have no doubt that her clients and students feel the same. Singing the praise of Doula Trainer Darla always and so proud to have taken one of my first doula trainings with someone so kind, knowledgeable, and supportive! Go Team Darla!

Warmly,
Julianna Winer, RYT

"I really enjoyed this class. I feel very empowered and informed about situations that will need to be addressed."

"Darla,
Your training was life giving! I feel like I have finally met my career, I've bounced from childcare / nannying/ teaching preschool and being an executive assistant in horribly boring jobs ( but still a support role). I never knew how to marry the two, but know I can work with children and use my admin skill to keep my business organized! I know it's going to take a lot of hard work but I've always been a hard worker and know I'll be able to make a career of this job."

"The training was very informative and interesting. We were well trained, well hydrated, and well fed during the process as well. I feel well prepared to assist my first client as a postpartum doula now"

"Darla's enthusiasm was obvious, and helped make the class interesting and more enjoyable.”

"Darla was a wonderful trainer, what a great class. I have gained so much knowledge to put towards my career. She conveyed how much she loves her job and educating other doulas. Thank you for all that you do for this community and families."

"This training exceeded my expectations. This was my very first foray into anything birth/doula related and the information was clear, consistent and piqued my interes into continuing this certification."

"Darla was extraordinarily well organized and prepared. Her presentations were clear, very well thought out and included thoroughly researched materials, expert professional opinions to give balanced information and arm us with a strong foundation and understanding to support and serve our community while gaining our certifications. She is sweet, professional, concerned and very knowledgeable about her craft, the technical nuances of the profession."

"The training was unbeatable, interesting and self-empowering. The trainer is a wonderful instructor, knowledgeable, and smart!"
