What's inside?
Module 1
Foundation of Doula Care
We are going to be talking about the pillars of doula care as well as types of support. We will also be deep diving the importance of inclusive language and equity in birth. We would not want to skip health and safety, so you will find that here too!
Module 2
Birth as it is & Birth as it should be
Hold onto your hats, we are going to be getting real clear on evidence based care. Toss in some mindfulness for you and your birthing people you are supporting, and it will be a good time. This module is where the Modern Family lessons will live as well.
Module 3
Anatomy, Physiology, Stages of Labor, Screens & Inductions
Nervous about the science of it all? Don't be! We have made this into bite-sized chunks and you will understand the ins and outs of the body and labor by the end of this module. We will ensure you feel confident with the screens and tests done as well as where induction and augmentation fits in the picture.
Module 4
Supporting Birth
Class 4 will be a full breakdown of the tools we have to keep people safe and comfortable in labor and birth. This will be through mindfulness, emotional care, as well as physical techniques.

These are higher risk situations or operative births. We will also be including mental health and PMADs in this module. It is a good one!

Khessia Rachelle Nabali
Khessia Rachelle Nabali is a doula and educator who currently splits her time between the United States and Haiti. She serves Southern Haiti as a doula through Nabali Natal Support. She also virtually supports clients in the States with a focus on Black reproductive health.
Khessia is a long time educator and administrator of an English school she co-founded with her sister.

For the past 15 years her focus has been centered around empowering, teaching, and facilitating healing for youth and young adults, specifically folks who identify as girls and women of the African Diaspora. Khessia is a proud bebo mia alumni who lives by the following motto: "Do the best you can, with what you have".
Aren Czernin
Aren Czernin (She/Her) is one of the three pioneer members of the Bebobabes Ph. She is a Raising Frequencies and a Self-Love Solutions teacher, and a mom to two amazing littles, Ela and André. She lives in Antipolo, Philippines.
Aren believes that the future of birth is beautiful, gentle and loving --whatever the birth outcome may be. She always viewed her own births as routine, and always thought that support could have been better, which led to the birth of her own doula business "Raising Frequencies through Kaligtasan". (Which stands for safety or safe space.) Being part of the Bebobabes Ph and Birth Keepers of the Philippines, she along with her fellow birth workers are paving the way and breaking barriers in the world of birth work for their children and future generations to come.
Vickiana Peña
Vickiana Peña (she/ her) is a daycare teacher, wife, and mother from Brooklyn, New York. She is a certified birthworker from bebo mia inc.
She founded The Sistahood of Birthworkers which supports families struggling with or at high risk of perinatal mood disorders within low-income communities. As a Latina living in Brooklyn and struggling with postpartum depression herself, she came to the realization that there is a huge lack of support and greater need of it in her community, that's when her passion for supporting birthers struggling with PPMD came to her life.
Bianca Sprague
As the founder of bebo mia, Bianca (she/her) feels especially passionate about creating access to quality healthcare for marginalized communities. She lives with her wife and their daughter on the East Coast.
She is an advocate for mental wellness for the entire family. Most recently, Bianca elected to undergo a hysterectomy after years of suffering and has a lot of insight to share on her experiences navigating the health care system. She's got a wealth of information on what to ask and how to create a recovery plan that works best for you and your unique needs.
Would you like to possibly make a
business of it?
We will help you do that too! It is important that you know the first steps to starting your doula business. This is forgotten in most programs and is so critical.
You may be taking this course to support a friend or family member who wants you as their doula... but what if you love it?
What if you have a little voice inside that wants to see if you can have this as a beautiful side hustle.
We will support you in making that happen! The business videos will be there for you to watch and rewatch and you start and scale your doula business.
Sadly, less than 10% of people who take a weekend doula training are able to do the business elements. So we wanted to fix this!
I’ve been thinking this in my head for weeks now and wanted to reach out to you personally to let you know that you are SO AWESOME. Seriously. With my academic background in science and as an educator (high school science for 10 years) I love your teaching style. It’s very clear and thorough. It’s also very evident that you are super duper knowledgeable about everything you are teaching - and it comes through with confidence.
Lauren Enright
The teachers at bebo mia are more than just teachers! They are so inclusive, helpful and knowledgeable! They are incredibly easy to talk to and up to date with any current studies and practices. They truly want you to succeed and help you with your climb to the top. bebo mia is different than any other training institution because they create a profound sense of community with their students while providing them with the highest level of education. I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunities and doors that Bianca and the other #bebobabes have opened up for me. I would recommend bebo mia!!
