Begin growing your audience with content marketing, launch your website and email list, and create, price, and sell your products and services.

  • The training includes 25 hours of pre-recorded lessons, plus optional workbooks and activities. During live classes we also offer optional group calls and an online student community.

    Many of our students graduate in around 4-6 months, but you have lifetime access and can take as long as you need.

  • The training is endorsed by industry associations including the Australian College of Midwives and DONA International.

    We have students in over 60 countries and our course is specifically designed for a global audience. We teach both the universal biological experience of postpartum, plus the unique cultural care provided in different parts of the world.

    Many people worry about accreditation or certification, but in most of the world the postpartum care industry is not regulated, so you can choose whichever training aligns best with your values.

    When you graduate you will receive a printable certificate and a digital badge to display on your website.

  • There are no prerequisites - this is not a medical role. 

    Some of our students have experience in nursing, teaching or midwifery, some of them have experience as mothers and some have experience as small business owners like yoga teachers and birth doulas.

    And some of our students have none of the above! You'll learn everything you need to know to start working in postpartum care.
