Carrie Kenner birth doula training

Hi! I've been a doula trainer since 2004, and have trained over 2,000 birth doulas.

I was one of the pioneers in online education for birth professionals, transitioning from in-person-only trainings, to hybrid models, and finally to online, on-demand courses.

Now, I offer a collection of online trainings that prepare you for a life as a doula, add new skills to your repertoire, and elevate your existing practice. These courses are online versions of the same in-person courses I offered for over a decade.

Now affordable and convenient for anyone around the world.

Create more value for your clients and increase your income.

"Carrie Kenner was, and is, the best instructor I have ever had the pleasure to meet.  Her explanations are clear, her demeanor is very approachable and light, and she works hard to get the content across in different ways so that it is accessible to all."

Birth consulting

Are you an author, producer, actor, or director creating a scene about birth?

If so, please make sure what you are showing the world is accurate.

I know, I know, it's much more entertaining to show someone doubling over in pain with their first contraction, or turning all Exorcist on their partner.

But it's not realistic and it contributes to the overall dysfunction of modern birth culture.

You see, most people learn about birth through what they see in films and TV. So if what you are portraying is false, you are contributing to a public that is misinformed and vulnerable when it comes time for them to have a baby.

You could be different. You could actually save birthing people's lives* by changing the conversations and portrayals of birth.

Sounds lofty, doesn't it? It is.

Hey, as long as you're going to include a birth scene in your project, do it right!

The public has gobbled up silly birth scenes in the past, but now depicting a cliché birth only weakens your product.

Here's how to help revolutionize birth in our culture (and make a better product for yourself):

  1. Contact me to tell me about your project.
  2. I will review your manuscript, script, article, or dialog, or visit you on set to provide expert feedback.
  3. Whether your scene is in the hospital, at home, or in the back seat of a Tesla, I can help you create a dramatic or hilarious scene that is riveting and realistic. Hell, it could be downright radical.

I spent over 20 years of my life sitting with expectant parents, undoing all the misinformation they gleaned about birth from the media. Please, don't perpetuate the bullshit.

Be a part of changing birth in our culture.

*Birthing people are dying in American hospitals because they aren't being listened to. They don't know how to speak up because they don't feel confident in themselves or in birth. Portraying birthing people as powerful — and birth as normal and doable — will start to reverse that trend.
