We support our community by offering one full certification scholarship per training. This scholarship includes all Certification Packet and Certification Retreat fees and is available for someone with circumstances that make accessing our doula trainings otherwise impossible. We also offer payment plans and small sliding scales for those with circumstances that would make accessing our trainings difficult. While anyone may apply, to address inequities in our system, we give special consideration to People of Color and LGBTQIA+. To apply, please email birthwithspirit@gmail.com for an application.
