…and many other frustrations that most of us trainers and birthworkers have been experiencing for years? We are excited to show you a different way to doula, where commonsense and a pure desire to serve you are the focus of our company.

What if
we just didn’t make it any harder than it has to be?

Imagine that.

This doesn’t mean we have casual standards and low expectations, or that we approve everything and everyone. It means we want your experience with to be meaningful, valuable, less frustrating, more logical, and something you are proud to be a part of and happy to tell others.

Our highly experienced, professional experts and advisors have the wisdom, skills, logic, and desire to disrupt the industry norms and bring you new options for training, certifying, and membership. We care about your feedback and ideas and want you to feel like a valuable part of shaping our policies and offers, and your future.

We are an approved certifying organization for some fertility insurance companies and we are actively working on approval with Medicaid providers across the country. We’re also working on other benefits like discounts on group liability insurance, continuing ed, and so much more. Let’s doula things a little differently!

I loved doing the Cert Point activities instead of certification births. I had been putting certification off because I was dreading that step, but now I can proudly say I am a Professional Certified Birth Doula with PPA!

I'm new to birthwork, I've had a hard time jumping in and understanding how to start a business. With the mentoring and community support from Perinatal Professionals, I feel like I can finally get my business running and start taking clients, it gave me a lot more confidence to have experts to turn to!

I love being able to run a doula training and send my students to PPA for certification. It takes all the headache off me and gives them the perks of a large collaboration but the feel of a small, local business.

I can't believe how much amazing help I got in a mentoring meeting, I went from totally stuck to a clear idea of what to do for my business name and logo!

I didn't like being stuck with a corporatey feeling organization and the high fees they had. I feel like I get best-friend support from the customer service at PPA and the certification process was so helpful.

I get the worst test anxiety and didn't know what to expect with the certification exam. Having someone review the areas I needed help with not only encouraged me to finish the process and get certified but it also made me a better doula to get a more clear grasp of my role!
