In the NBDA Birth Doula Training program, we bring back what was lost or stolen from us as women, while we incorporate an improved model of Doula business. The mission of the NBDA Birth Doula Training program is to embody the ancient healing ways of our ancestors, to empower all birthers as they reclaim the right to their bodies and their experiences, from Birth & Beyond.
