Welcome to The Original Birth Connection
Lets make birth better, together
Maybe you’re doula curious.
Maybe you’re already certain this is the work — but every training you’ve looked at feels rushed, narrow, or misaligned with your values.
You want depth, not dogma.
You want inclusion, not binaries.
You want to support people through fertility journeys, loss, birth, and the postnatal period — without causing harm, burning out, or losing yourself in the process.
If that’s you, you’re in exactly the right place.
You feel called to doula work but you don’t want to do it That Way
Start Here: The Free 6 Steps to Becoming a Doula Guide
This free guide is your honest introduction to what it really means to become a doula — and what it’s like to train with The Original Birth Connection.
Not the Instagram version.
Not the idealised version.
The real, grounded, human one.
Inside the guide, you’ll discover:
What doulas actually do — across fertility, loss, birth, and the postnatal period
The emotional and practical realities of holding people through deeply vulnerable experiences
Why trauma-informed, inclusive education isn’t optional — it’s essential
The difference between shallow certification courses and mentored, values-led training
The first steps to becoming a doula without rushing, bypassing, or compromising your ethics
This guide isn’t designed to convince you to become a doula.
It’s designed to help you decide — with clarity, confidence, and honesty — whether this path is right for you.
Why This Guide Exists
So many people come to doula work because they care deeply —
and then end up feeling unsupported, underprepared, or quietly harmed by poor training.
We created this guide because:
Birth is complex, nuanced, and never one-size-fits-all
Advocacy requires confidence, knowledge, and emotional safety
Inclusive care demands more than good intentions
And no one should be sent into this work alone
This is the beginning of a supported transition, not a sales funnel dressed up as “free value”.

Understand what supported, mentored doula education actually looks like

If it’s a no — you’ll still leave with clarity and respect for your decision.
