Attention birth keepers, nurturers and light workers who want to powerfully serve and support new families during the sacred postpartum...
I bet I know a few things about you. I think you likely...
Have a heart and passion for serving and supporting babies and families- especially during the fourth trimester (postpartum)
Are intuitive, empathetic, compassionate, naturally nurturing and identify with the healer archetype
Know how crucial it is for families to receive compassionate, non-judgmental, soul level nurturing after birth
Have maybe even struggled with a postpartum mood disorder yourself or felt vastly under-supported after birth ... and now feel called to help new parents avoid that pain, stress and isolation
Know you deserve a fulfilling career that allows you to do what you love, create abundance and work in your "zone of joy"!
Feel you're here on this planet to do something BIG- to truly make a difference in your community and in the lives of others
Sound like you? If so, then this is absolutely divine timing!
The truth is, there's never been a better time to become a postpartum doula than RIGHT NOW.
Finally, our society is starting to REMEMBER how vitally important the postpartum period is to mothers, parents, babies... and therefore society at large.
In the not too distant past, we had a myriad of friends and family members to support us after childbirth.
New parents were never isolated, alone or left to struggle in solitude- the whole tribe/community/village would pitch in to serve and support.
They helped the new mother by tending to her home, her other children, and most importantly, to her psyche... and by holding space as she navigated that beautiful yet challenging "maiden to mother" transition.
It's absolutely time to revive and resume these necessary social practices.
Deep down, I think we all know that familial support during this critical time is absolutely essential for the life, health and wellbeing of our culture... and our planet.
I'd love it if you could take a moment to really imagine...
Having the knowledge, skill set and wisdom to powerfully nurture, support and caretake new families during this beautiful yet challenging time... and feeling FULLY confident in your abilities
Finally having a career where you get to work in your zone of genius AND your zone of joy!
Knowing that you're doing something profound to heal the current maternal health care crisis
A world where EVERY MotherBaby, partner and family is sufficiently and soulfully supported after birth... and given the time, space and opportunity to rest, heal, bond and fall in love.

Who's a perfect fit for POSTPARTUM DOULA KNOW HOW?
Will I become a Certified Postpartum Doula?
Hi, I'm Betsy Schwartz, and I'm so glad you're here!
I want to be honest- I consider myself a pioneer and a visionary; going where no one has gone before. I'm not afraid to take risks, speak my truth and shake up the status quo. At the same time, I'm so passionate about serving others and making a powerful, positive difference in the world. That's why I'm here on this planet, and that's what I'm about.
In the course of my 30+ years of being a Postpartum Doula and Postpartum Doula Trainer (yes, for those big name organizations!), I've worked with, coached and certified hundreds of Postpartum Doulas and was also a Birth Doula for a short time. Along the way, I also became a certified lactation counselor (CLC), board game creator, and Reiki Master.
Teaching and sharing my wisdom comes naturally to me, and I do it daily as I live my life. I offer transformational coaching and online courses, accept speaking engagements, share and enjoy the powerful practice of Reiki.
When I'm not teaching, coaching and mentoring doulas and maternity professionals, you'll find me drumming with my tribe, practicing with my dragon boat team, swimming laps or playing Mah Jongg.
Anyway, that's me! I'd absolutely love to hang out with you inside my Facebook group, Postpartum Doula Training. Be sure to pop in there and say hello. And as a gift, I'd love for you to have a FREE copy of my e-book, Essence of Being a Postpartum Doula.
Love and Light,
Betsy Schwartz, CLC, RM
