Some of our amazing graduates, in their own words:

I would 100% recommend the Postpartum Doula + NICS course.

The information is broken down into self-paced modules, and designed for audio, visual and book learners so there is something for everyone.

The certification process was simple, but not easy, and communication with the team was fast and efficient.

I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. The course covers everything you need to know to confidently support new families during the postpartum period.

The balance between theory and practical application is excellent, and this training has truly enhanced my skills and knowledge.

I highly recommend this course.
Lina Gutierrez
Birth & Postpartum Doula
I’m really impressed by the thoughtfulness of the online course. Not only does it cover physically supporting the mother’s birthing process via vaginal birth or c-section but also how to help mothers emotionally and mentally.

The step by step exercises and check ins are so important. I really enjoyed the recap with bullet points and pictures to help visual learners like myself stay focused.

I just completed the Doula + Newborn care Specialist course, and I absolutely loved it!

The content was incredibly informative and presented in a way that made everything easy to grasp. I feel more confident and prepared to support families during such a precious time.

Highly recommend it to anyone interested in this field!

The Postpartum Doula + Newborn and Infant Care Specialist training is thorough and provides excellent insights into supporting new mothers, newborn care, and offering meaningful support to infants.
Ana Maria De Castro
Postpartum Doula
I was a Medical Assistant and truly love to be part of children’s development.

I decided to be certified as a NCS along with my many years of experience in child care.

The Newmom.me Academy’s Postpartum Doula + Newborn and Infant Care Specialist training is very beneficial and the support team was very informative.
Shameena Ibrahim
Newborn Care Specialist
This program has opened my eyes to understanding everything that goes on in this journey.

I adore the fact that there are so many videos and examples of what is to do be done, what to expect, and how to support parents.

I love how everything was explained step by step!
Kiarah Burns
Postpartum Doula & Newborn Care Specialist
Newmom.me Academy has been a game-changer for my business. The certification process is simple and informative and the self-paced training, especially around newborn care and postpartum recovery, was incredibly thorough and gave me the knowledge to help new families.

I highly recommend this program to anyone looking to pursue a meaningful career in Postpartum and Newborn care!

In my Yoga-based integrative health practice I have met many mothers with postpartum needs, but without formal training in this area I could not help them fully.

The Mother and Child Care Specialist certification program has dramatically expanded my knowledge and ability to offer a broader spectrum of services.
