Many doulas have training that is specifically focused on natural, unmedicated childbirth. This is immensely important, but we hear from doulas all the time who lack skills and confidence if their client chooses an epidural, and it happens sometimes - no matter how much you help them to prepare. Sometimes they are induced, or for another reason end up benefitting from epidural pain relief. Without judgment, we need to recognize the need for specific education on how to support clients with this kind of intervention. Through this unique program, MaternityWise provides additional skills specific to the support needs of epidural pain relief. There are no pre-requisites, but a basic knowledge of birth-related anatomy/physiology and labor support would be helpful. When you've attended the EpiDoula® workshop, you will receive a frame-able Advanced Skills award to compliment all of your other achievements.

Our next cohort will go live soon. Our virtual flow format will have a interactive lessons posted every Monday. You'll have all week to post your assignments. Many clinics, hospitals, birth centers and community-based pregnancy care centers want to provide 3 main classes to their patients (yep, you guessed it! CBE, Newborn Care and Breastfeeding!) and you will be qualified to do all 3. If you have your own practice as a doula, nurse, midwife, OBGYN, or other maternal health provider, you can incorporate these classes into your own business and broaden what you have to offer birthing families.

The 2025 Indiana Doula Conference filled critical gaps by providing continuing education, peer support, and visibility for doulas in a state with rising needs but limited infrastructure. It kick-started a movement, elevating the doula profession and better supporting perinatal care in Indiana. This year, we're scaling that impact even further—anticipating over 100 doulas, nearly 50 community organizations, and several key sponsors coming together statewide. Through deeper programming, more collaborative opportunities, and broader stakeholder engagement, this year’s conference will up-level the vital role doulas play in equity-driven maternal health.
