I took the Paradigm Doula Training class. I like it a lot. If you want to be a doula, this class is great. It fits people who need to move slow and want good lessons.The best part is that I set my own speed. It is totally self paced. I could put the class into my life without stress. The easy pace helps you learn the stuff well.The lessons are also top notch. The parts are well made, go in a good order, and teach you all you need to be a strong doula. They have many extra helpful things online, like forms and guides. This makes the class even better.If you want to start or grow as a doula, you should take this class. It is an easy, full, and good class that is great for anyone.
This course is very thorough! I was hesitant taking a self paced course, but this was a phenomenal experience that I will forever be grateful. The content is top notch and so professional. I have gained so much from this training and am leaving a better person than when I started. Thank you Yenny
I am incredibly grateful for the training I have received through Paradigm Doulas. Yenny James is a highly skilled and compassionate mentor and that is reflected in the training from start to finish. Not only do I feel prepared to care for families across thr full spectrum of perinatal care, I feel prepared to do it through a holistic approach that honors this unique and sacred process in a family's life. I am very happy with my decision to choose Paradigm Doulas as my path to becoming certified as a perinatal doula.
I absolutely LOVED this course! I started at the national doula institute and that wasn’t a good fit for me due to it not discussing the history of doulas and the importance to be reverent of different culture and remember birth is political and powerful and we need to protect POC especially in this field. Which led me to Carriage House Birth whom I also couldn’t recommend enough and they definitely covered those topics, but there was still more information I was seeking. That’s when I came across Paradigm Doulas which was the absolute perfect fit! Simple, Short, Sweet, & Concise. Jam packed with TONS of informations and different cultural traditions and rituals and Yenny is the sweetest most understanding soul! I love her background she’s an absolute badass and you can tell her intentions are pure and loving. She was so quick to respond to any simple question I may have. I genuinely look up to her and would recommend this course to anyone interested in becoming a doula!
Course was very informative and efficient. I had a great experience, I learned a lot. The Instructor was a great resource and amazing teacher. I highly recommend this training program for anyone looking to become proficient in Doula support and services.
This course was super helpful and informative! I'm thankful for Yenny's wisdom and experience in putting this course together so that doulas can be well-prepared in the birthing world.
I am hooked! Yenny made this course very educational, I have learned so much and look forward to educating my clients (parents) in their journey.
This course was amazing! It allowed me to open my mind to perspectives like parenting styles, herb usage, and breastfeeding techniques that I was not aware of.
This course opened my mind up to various birthing situations I had never considered. Yenny is very accommodating and available to help. The course is self paced and easy to navigate while working full time.
loved this course! very eye opening!
I am very glad for taking this course. I learned so much, and wished I had all this knowledge when having my own kids.
Yenny is a great instructor, I love how passionate she is about birth couching, and her support to all communities.
I really recommend this course if you are looking to be an inclusive, and unwavering birth couching.
