The birth plan, taught the way the current evidence says it works.

A 1 CE class for practicing doulas. $19

What this class is
Birth planning is one of the strongest tools in doula practice and almost nobody teaches it from the current evidence. This short class fixes that.

You get the research behind birth plans, including the 2022 randomized trial that found 81.9 percent spontaneous vaginal birth in the birth plan group versus 48.7 percent in standard care. You get a four step shift handoff script your clients can rely on at every nurse change. You get the language that bridges the provider patient perception gap.

You also get a complete model for offering paid birth planning sessions as a low cost preview of your doula services. Eight trainings walk through the mechanics, including what to charge, where to meet, how to find clients, and how to evaluate the session.

Sample handouts and a full bibliography are included. Earn 1 CE from DONA International. CEP-002-003-W. Self paced. Lifetime access.
