ICEA Dual Childbirth Educator and Birth Doula Workshop - Boulder, CO

ICEA-Approved Dual Certification Workshop - Childbirth Educator & Birth Doula

Offered By BabyMatters

Why choose between being a Birth Doula or a Childbirth Educator when you can be both?

With ICEA’s Dual Certification, you’ll gain the knowledge to teach and the skills to support, empowering families from their very first class to their very first contractions. This is your chance to expand your reach, deepen your expertise, and become the all-in-one birth professional families trust.

Who Should Take This Workshop?
This engaging and comprehensive training is ideal for:

• Aspiring and current childbirth educators or birth doulas
• Postpartum doulas, nurses, and other perinatal professionals
• Birth enthusiasts ready to turn their passion into a career
• Community advocates and peer supporters
• Anyone interested in promoting informed, confident, and family-centered birth experiences

While this workshop is designed to fulfill the training requirement for those pursuing ICCE (International Childbirth Education Association) Certification, we welcome all participants with a desire to educate and empower birthing families.

A Final Note

If you feel a pull toward this work but aren’t sure where it fits yet, you’re not alone. Many people come to this training with questions, mixed feelings, or a quiet sense of “maybe.”

This workshop is meant to help you feel steadier and more informed. Not rushed. Not pressured. Just supported as you take your next step.
