The Team

The Dream Team of Doula Training:

Penny and Geneva are both experienced Doulas. Geneva is also a Certified Professional Midwife, postpartum doula, childbirth and CPR instructor, yoga teacher, spirit medicine and bodywork practitioner, and mother of 4. Penny is a DONA Approved Birth Doula Trainer, mother of 4, grandmother of 7, and mentor to many hundreds of doulas. Between the two of them they have attended over 1500 births. Geneva will share her knowledge as a Home birth Midwife and the spiritual side of birthing. The strategic values provided by Penny and Geneva in their workshops, which separates them from other trainers, is their dedication to their students and their continuing commitment to the doulas they work with. Dria is our amazing administrative assistant and a newer certified doula who offers insight on what the first year's of your journey might hold. Dria is a Colorado native, a wife and mother who finds joy in all things metaphysical, comedy art! Currently, she serves the Greater Denver Area as a Holistic Birth and Postpartum doula.

We offer a childbirth class for doulas to meet the DONA requirements for childbirth education before you take your doula training at most workshops. Breastfeeding classes are also offered several times per year.

Students attending our workshops will discover the training weekend is only their first step in their journey to become Professional Birth Doulas. Penny and Geneva are committed to supporting you to be successful on your Doula path. They are committed to helping Doulas get the experience needed to grow professionally and become DONA Certified successful in whatever other doula path they choose.

We can help you find your first few births through our volunteer program. This program involves Doulas donating their time and expertise to birth givers with difficult issues and limited resources. This has proven to be an excellent way for new Doulas to get valuable experience in meeting experience requirements for certification, learning skills, serving the community, and developing confidence as Birth Doulas. It is worth noting that over the years, many Doulas have found this program so rewarding they often continue to donate their time and skills. We also offer continued mentorship through an additional, optional program offered to our students, the holistic birthkeeper mentorship. In addition to supporting our doulas and offering financial assistance for everything we teach, we are committed to donating a portion of all our workshop fees to community birth groups that support ending disparities among birthing people.
