Learning how to support families through birth is one thing. Building a sustainable career doing it is another.

What happens when you’re navigating a challenging client situation, figuring out your pricing, or wondering how to grow your practice without burning yourself out?

You deserve people in your corner!!!

Over 12 months, you’ll connect with experienced birth workers and a cohort of peers who understand the work because they’re doing it, too.

You don’t have to figure it all out on your own. ❤️

“I sincerely believe I wouldn't have had the knowledge, skills, and confidence to get my business off the ground if I wasn't a part of this program.”

Jennifer joined our Doula Mentor Program looking for support as she built her business. What she found was knowledge, confidence, accountability, and a community of doulas who were just as determined to grow.

That’s what this program is about: building your skills, growing your practice, and finding the people who will be in your corner along the way.

The Fall 2026 cohort is now open for enrollment!

So... what does an Integrative Lactation & Feeding Specialist actually do?

Basically, they help families navigate feeding without handing them a list of rules and sending them on their way.

An ILFS can support families with breastfeeding, pumping, milk expression, alternative feeding, common challenges, and all the complicated stuff that exists around feeding a baby.

They also know their scope, know when to refer out, and most importantly, keep the family’s goals at the center.

Because it’s not just about the milk. It’s about the whole family.

Our Fall ILFS cohort starts in November. Join the interest list to be the first to know when enrollment opens: https://shorturl.at/cEWEO
