Birth Arts International was originally founded in 2000 by Demetria Clark as the Green Mountain Doula Guild. Since then the organization has expanded and grown into Birth Arts International. We have gone from a regional body to one that is working on an international level, offering extensive doula, postpartum doula and advanced doula trainings.

Please understand, that we do not offer scholarships, nor do we allow women to train “for free” or to work exchange. We value the work we do, the program we offer, and our well respected teachers. We are proud of the worth that this work brings. You will earn the full cost of the training back on your first birth. Not only are you investing in supporting other women, you are investing in your own future.
Requirements to train: Both experienced/already certified doulas and those with zero birth experience are welcome. All certification requirements and book recommendations will be reviewed the first night of class.
What does certification mean or entitle me to? There a few reputable, well known certifying organizations that certify birth doulas, postpartum doulas, childbirth educators, etc. Each organization has very different requirements, philosophies, and even fee schedules. Birth Arts International certifies Birth Arts International students only. We are happy to discuss what sets us apart, including allowing you more personal freedom with how you you want to practice, our strong commitment to ethics and best practice research in birth, and why we won’t keep charging you “re-certification fees” when other organizations will. We will cover all these issues in depth, on your first night of class.
Sounds perfect for me! How do I register? Please email beth@believeinbirth.com, and you will receive your registration form via email. You can either snail mail it back with payment, or email it back if you choose to use a credit card for a faster way to secure your space.
