Training offered

NAPS Doulas offers continuing education events for postpartum and birth doulas. While we do not provide initial doula training, these continuing education classes are invaluable for maintaining your doula skills and remaining in compliance with a variety of doula certification programs, including being certified through NAPS. Continuing education events are a mix of in-person, hybrid, and virtual.

Summary of qualifications

NAPS began in 1996 as a collective of postpartum doulas wanting to support each other and increase their visibility in the Seattle area. In 2021, 25 years later, NAPS became a full-spectrum organization. We are a not-for-profit with a volunteer board of directors. We are able to offer continuing education, mentorship, peer support, marketing, and certification through membership dues, fees, and donations from our community. We will never request money from parents for doula referrals.

Style of teaching

NAPS invests in a diverse and equitable community for doulas across the full spectrum of reproductive experiences. NAPS supports its doulas through mentorship, continuing education, peer connection, advocacy, competency-based certification, and promoting visibility within client and provider communities.
