AN OPEN INVITATION TO WOMEN CALLED TO SERVE WOMEN IN BIRTH:

For Women, Not the System: Become a Doula Who Honors Women, Not a Compliant Bystander

Get the Confidence to Attend Births, Attract Clients You Love, and Make a Living While Experiencing the Magic of Birth!

Weekend doula trainings barely scratch the surface when it comes to truly supporting women through their birth journey. They focus on basic coping techniques, interventions, and birth plans—leaving out the deeper, ancient wisdom you need to help a woman connect to her own inner power.

If you’re considering one of those “big-box,” assembly-line doula programs, just be aware that you will like be trained to fit neatly into a medical system that strips women of their power and treats birth like a crisis waiting to happen.

But if you want to break free from that narrative and be a doula who empowers women to reclaim birth as a sacred experience, the Sacred Sisterhood Doula Training is a fantastic next step. Join us and learn how to truly transform the lives of the women you serve. Enrollment is open.

Meet Your guides

Maryn and Margo

We’re mamas and birth workers who chose to rewrite the rules of birth—and we’re inviting you to join us on this journey. We’re kind, fun, and not afraid to lovingly call people into integrity and their own power when they stray off course. With 12 children and 33+ years of combined birth work experience, we’ve seen it all, and the Sacred Sisterhood Doula Training is where we share it all with you.

This course goes beyond the basics and takes a truly holistic approach to being a doula, weaving together the body, mind, and spirit. You’ll dive deep into traditional birth and midwifery wisdom, blended with real-world clinical experience and our powerful, proprietary Indie Birth material. Along the way, you’ll experience profound inner growth while gaining the confidence and skills to support women in ways few doulas ever do.

A Way of Supporting Women in Their Power That You Will Find Nowhere Else

“I have a community of mothers very close to me (7 sisters to be exact!) and believe me, I have been spreading the news! There is so much information packed into this course. It was life-changing for me, and hopefully will be for my clients. I had been following Indie Birth podcasts and articles for a little while, and I thought I knew a lot about birth, pregnancy, and postpartum. Boy was I wrong! There is so much information in this course, it made me realize you never can know it all–but here’s an amazing start to the lifelong journey of learning about birth! From dietary changes for a better postpartum, to vaginal steaming, to truly understanding that you have options, and no one is in charge of your pregnancy but you–this course covers so much ground, I can’t wait to go out and change the birth world, one client at a time. All women deserve the support an Indie Birth-trained doula can offer. All women deserve this knowledge. Thank you, Indie Birth!”

SADIE

“I started this course with hopes to satiate my cravings for a deep dive into all things birth, and happy to say my desires have been met (and then some). There is no surface level content; the course takes twists, turns, detours and deep dives, all with the purpose of increasing your knowledge of all things birth to a meaningful level, whilst constantly encouraging you to be thinking critically about your own stance and values.”

EMILY

“I was guided to learn all about true physiological birth in a way that let me explore and reflect on my own thoughts, feelings, and preconceptions. It was life changing! The reading material and course content was designed in such a comprehensive and manageable manner, I oftentimes found myself not wanting articles, podcasts, and books to end. The connections and support that the INDIE BIRTH community fosters has been really special. It’s incredible to feel the energy from fellow birth workers and to know that we are all in this together, working to create a paradigm shift! I will forever treasure my time learning with Maryn, Margo, and all of the incredible hosts, and feature guests along the way. I am so grateful for this holistic, honest, and sacred capsule of birth wisdom.”

this we believe:

Mothers Know How to Give Birth, Babies Know How to Be Born...

Birth is a sacred rite of passage—an initiation into the Divine Feminine that has been hijacked by a system that is built on the story of separation – separation from self, each other, and the sacred.

Doula trainings that prepare you to be a “good girl” and serve as a compliant cog in the hospital create doulas who separate women from their power.

Doula trainings that offer little to no help in dealing with your own inner emotional landscape, or birth trauma, set you up to project these unresolved issues into the birth space.

As a doula, you can either choose to help perpetuate the problem or you can choose to play an active role in the solution. You can support the system or you can support women. You can’t do both.

The Sacred Sisterhood Doula Training is an extensive educational journey through the wide range of skills and abilities you need to fully support women in their power.

The sacred sisterhood Curriculum

What You'll Learn in the Sacred Sisterhood Doula Training

The Sacred Sisterhood Doula Training is a comprehensive, four-month program that dives deep into the four core areas of doula work listed below. The moment you enroll, you’ll get instant access to all the online coursework, which you can move through at your own pace. Plus, you’ll join LIVE coaching calls with Maryn, Margo, and other expert birth workers.

From the most practical skills to the profound wisdom needed to truly support women, this course covers it all.

With lifetime access, you’ll have the freedom to learn at your own pace, revisit key sections, and continue growing in your journey whenever you need.

SECTION 1

Becoming a Sacred Sisterhood Doula From the Inside Out

You can’t help women reclaim their power if you haven’t claimed your own. That’s why, in the Sacred Sisterhood Doula Training, we guide you through a profound exploration of your inner world. You’ll confront and process your own fears, blocks, and energetic obstacles—those things that hold you back from fully “showing up” for the women you’re meant to serve.

Develop a clear vision for your work as a doula and connect with your true desires (emotional, physical and spiritual) that will propel you forward in your service.
Visit the "dark" side of birth work and develop the capacity to maintain your center in a field long known for its persecution of powerful women. You'll receive help in learning how to to stay present in the face of conflict and truly claim your power as a servant of women.
How to prepare your nervous system for work as a doula to make sure your success does not come at the expense of your well-being and happiness. (You'll find many midwives who don't even have this important skill.)

SECTION 2

Developing the Power to Attract Clients You Want to Work With

So many doulas suffer because they don’t hold deeply the understanding about how valuable what they do can be. Doulas are not order takers, they play an active, co-creative role in helping a woman navigate the birthing process. This section involves transferring the knowledge and ability to be a powerful authority in the birthing space and have the confidence and belief you need to truly serve.

How to "hold space" in a powerful way and step into your use of intuition as authoritative knowledge.
Determine the women who are the right choice for you to serve. Only doulas who lack confidence take any client who comes along. If you are looking for a deep connection with the women you serve, then knowing how to find the right ones for you is a key piece of that puzzle.
What they will learn in each module and what they are getting out of it.

SECTION 3

Understand Physiological Birth Better Than Many Midwives!

You can’t serve women in birth if you don’t have a deep understanding of physiological birth. In this section, you’ll receive knowledge that some midwives do not even know (and definitely not OB’s) about how the birth process happens, the intricate web of divine timing that interventions can disrupt and all about the signs and stages of labor from the perspective of the wise woman.

Get access to a 2+ hour Labor Blueprint class taking you through the entire labor and birth process. This is a class you can review often and even choose to teach in your community as an effective way to attract clients who want something more than the average doula can provide.
How you can contribute to manifesting an "undisturbed" third stage of labor to help a mom minimize bleeding, avoid trauma and increase the bonding experience with her baby.
All about long labors, fast labors and everything in between and an entire library of proprietary birth videos so you can see and feel what birth can truly be like.

SECTION 4

Secrets of the Sacred Sisterhood

Helping women claim their power in birth requires a level of understanding and ability that is not common in the doula world. IN addition to the core curriculum, you’ll receive hours of additional instruction about a long list of topics related to supporting women in birth.

All about interventions, how navigate the hospital setting with clarity and confidence and offering support to Cesarean births.
Discover the Alchemy of Adrenaline, the role of this hormone and how you can manage your own when witnessing or attending births.
Understanding how to provide support during the 4th trimester and become extremely valuable to a new mother in the days and weeks following birth.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you offer a certification for completing this course?

We do not offer certifications because we do not believe in certifications. We are focused on supporting women in birth in a way few are trained to do. That is our mark of success, not the opinion of an outside authority.

Will you help me find clients and grow the number of people who want to work with me?

You will attract clients, not chase them. This work is some of the most valuable forms of service in birth. Most doulas don’t act like that, because they are conditioned NOT to believe it. As a member of the Sacred Sisterhood Doula Training, you will receive extensive help in making this work materially rewarding to you and your family. You will provide a level of value that is not currently available to women. And you will be rewarded for that. In fact, you should expect that clients will seek you! For most doulas, what they discover inside the Sisterhood will probably mean making far more with much less effort.

Do I get lifetime access to the course material?

Yes. It is a very comprehensive course. You can work through it at your own pace.

Will I get to participate in the coaching calls or do I just listen?

The coaching calls are for YOUR benefit. So your full participation is what we want. Bring your fears, challenges, dreams and questions and we will help you move through them to the next step on your journey. You get lifetime access to come to the coaching calls, plus they are all recorded. This means you can come and still learn or share as a practicing doula.

What if I enroll but find out it isn't a good fit?

We only want to work with members who want to be there. If you enroll in the course and find it is not for you, we will be happy to refund your enrollment within the first 24 hours. Over the past few years, we have only had to do this ONCE.

Is there another doula training like this available?

NOT. EVEN. CLOSE. If you want to be a “compliant clog” in the medical hospital system that separates women from their power, then you have a lot of doula trainings to choose from. If you’re ready to step out of that control structure and help women reclaim their power, that’s what the Sisterhood will uniquely prepare you to do.

I'm not sure if this is right for me, now what?

We’re not in the convincing business, but if you’re not sure if the full training is right for you, then get started with our free Sacred Sisterhood mini-course and completely transform your idea of what it means to be a doula.
