Advanced Doula Skills: Beyond the Basics Interdisciplinary Doula Program

“If you’re looking for a doula training that focuses on how to better serve Black and Brown families before, during, and after pregnancy, then ENT is it! The wealth of information gained, the love and support from the sisterhood, and the devotion of the organization as a whole is immeasurable. I am so grateful to have found my birth work tribe.” 

“For a while, I was deeply interested in becoming a doula and being a support for birthing people, but I wasn’t sure where to start. Then one night, I came across ENT’s advertisement while scrolling on Facebook, and it felt like divine timing. I’m so grateful I followed that nudge. Becoming a part of the ENT Doula Sisterhood has truly been a transformative experience. I cherish the opportunity to share space with others who are just as passionate about maternal health and birth justice as I am. Throughout this journey, I have learned so much, not just about birth work, but about myself. I’ve grown alongside a powerful cohort of women who have inspired me, uplifted me, and taught me more than I could have imagined. I couldn’t have asked for better sisters to walk this path with. I’m proud to be an ENT Doula because this program doesn’t just teach you how to be a doula, it teaches you how to embody the role and how to serve with confidence, compassion, and cultural awareness. I now feel prepared, empowered, and deeply supported as I step into this sacred work. Thank you, ENT, for pouring into us. I carry this sisterhood with me wherever I go.” 

" Super Dope! To be on Zoom with so many women of different shades of brown was the most amazing thing ever… Being our authentic selves and led by a woman with such knowledge and charisma, who taught us during her journey of Midwifery school. This was a no-judgment journey, and I would recommend this program to any woman interested in ground-shaking work. I am proud...ENT Forever.” 

“I knew I wanted to train to be a doula. I looked into several training programs. When I came across ENT, I followed them for a year or so before I was ready to apply. I knew this was the place for me. I have not 1 regret for choosing ENT, and I am so grateful that ENT chose me. ENT is 10/10, and is highly recommended. I’ve learned so much, and to be honest, I don’t believe I’ve had to work so hard for something that is so meaningful to me before. The criteria are top-tier, and the knowledge I gained is immersive. ENT has taught me not only how to be there to support our Black and Brown families, but it has helped me confirm my calling: to support mothers/women and families, to know maternal rights, to advocate, and to educate mothers and families. It has taught my introverted self about sisterhood, which I value so much, and I look forward to continued connections and collaboration with my Doula sisters. The sisterhood, I hold in high esteem. I've leaned on my sisters as they have leaned on me, all with open arms. Again, I am looking forward to being a part of ENT and its sisterhood. Thank you ENT, I am forever grateful for this opportunity and what’s to come next within it.” 

“I've always been the person to ask why and explore further; this is why I knew a shorter training program would not work for my inquisitive nature. When a friend told me about ENT I knew I had found what I was seeking. ENT has pushed and expanded my point of view, understanding about the birthing body, the pregnancy journey, and the tragic state women's health is in. At the same time, showing where positive and healing changes can take place. I was challenged to rethink and learn how beautiful and powerful pregnancy can be. I am grateful to have shared laughter and tears with some beautiful, like-minded individuals in my class . Thank You SciHonor Devotion for sharing your vision.”

“Earth’s Natural Touch is not your typical doula training. This 14-month intensive experience expands your knowledge, perceptions, and expectations of what it means to be not only a birth worker but also a leader in your community. Our job is to build relationships, educate families, and advocate for the importance of informed consent in order to have the best possible birthing outcomes. You will not be disappointed in joining this sisterhood, and I recommend this program to anyone who is motivated to make tangible change. 10/10. ”

“ My time with ENT was truly a meaningful and transformative experience. During the program, I was able to build genuine connections within the sisterhood and step outside of my comfort zone in ways that helped me grow both personally and professionally. I chose this program because I knew that if I wanted to work in this field, I needed a solid foundation of knowledge, not just a brief overview. Most of the programs I came across were only three days long, and I didn’t feel comfortable supporting women through one of the most important experiences of their lives without in-depth training. When I learned about ENT and the extensive content it covered, I immediately knew it was the right fit. 

I wanted to feel confident and capable while supporting mothers, and ENT gave me that confidence.

One of the most valuable takeaways from this program was the emphasis on advocacy for the BIPOC community and the acknowledgment of the disparities we face as women. Being surrounded by like-minded women, sharing our stories, and learning together made the journey even more empowering.

If someone is considering applying to this program, I would tell them that if you’re looking to go beyond the basics and truly immerse yourself in what it means to be a doula, ENT is the right choice. But be prepared to commit. This is not a program for someone who isn’t ready to show up fully, it requires time, dedication, and a willingness to sacrifice some of your free time. But it’s absolutely worth it. 

The support I received from the ENT sisterhood was incredible and played a big role in my success. Sci Honor is an exceptional educator. Her passion is evident in everything she does, and the knowledge she shares is both comprehensive and deeply meaningful. I’m grateful for this experience and everything it’s prepared me for moving forward.””

" A certified Earth's Natural Touch Doula is able to assist families in a plethora of areas including preconception/fertility support, lactation support, grief and loss support, postpartum support, and more. This training is not for the weak, and it will grow you as a person if you allow it to. The sisterhood that comes with the training seems too good to be true--it ain't! As an enrollee in one of the first virtual cohorts, I can say that the sisterhood is real whether in person or not.”

“It truly is a calling to become a doula and it shouldn't be taken lightly. This program gets tough and heavy. It is not for the weak or uncertain! This has been the most extensive, time-consuming, fulfilling, and purposeful course I've ever taken. I have gained so much knowledge and wisdom about this work as well as practices and habits that have made me a better person. The sense of community and guidance in this sisterhood cannot be found anywhere else. (Google it!) Thank you SciHonor for cultivating this space, being such a leading light, and doing the work! "If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together" is right and I couldn't imagine embarking on this journey with any other group of women.” - 

“ENT is THEE BEST certifying doula program HANDS DOWN!! How do I know? I know because years ago, I certified with a different organization, and as time passed, I watched things go terribly wrong right before my eyes. Sci has planted, watered, and put her hands to the plow due to her passion for birthwork and community! This isn't JUST a doula program; IT'S A VILLAGE!! A village that works together, cries together, and heals together. This rigorous program is chock-full of information I never realized I needed... even after serving clients for years prior! Today, I'm a better doula than I was before because of ENT and the dedication we all have together. If you're looking for a program, ENT is the best without a doubt.”
