Overview

Throughout the Doula Care Across the Lifespan from the Fanshawe College you will learn to support families through the full-spectrum of reproductive options, outcomes, and life transitions, from preconception, through birth, to death. The program emphasizes the doula’s role within the broader health care system, equipping you with theoretical and practical experience in advocacy, trauma-informed care, reproductive justice, and ethical client-centred practices.

Doulas are often self-employed entrepreneurs and need to promote their services in various ways. You’ll learn how to set up your own business, develop effective marketing and branding strategies, utilize social media and build inter/intra-professional collaborations.

Career opportunities:

Unique to Fanshawe’s diploma program, students will learn how to set up their own business (business plan, taxes, and scheduling), develop effective marketing and branding strategies, utilize social media and build inter/intra-professional collaborations.

Doulas may seek employment with for-profit organizations that offer full-spectrum services such as abortion, grief and loss support, or fertility treatments. Most clients are self-referred to doulas, making for a flexible career accommodating many different schedules and needs. When hiring a doula, a client will choose based on the doula's availability, the requested services, and competency. Many clients hire their doulas for different reasons: affordability, professionalism, and experience.
