Menopause Doula Training

Menopause Doula Training: Supporting Every Chapter of the Reproductive Journey

Reproductive wellness doesn’t start and end with conception and birth. Our unique journeys often extend well into our lives with distinct ebbs, flows, and profound transitions, including the vital role of menopause doula training in preparing professionals to support this stage of life.

Perimenopause and menopause are life experiences impacting millions of people. Sometimes beginning in their 30s, continuing through their 40s, and well beyond their 50s. These transitions deserve dedicated, compassionate, expert support.

And that’s exactly where you come in!

8 Online Modules: Each module covers a curated set of topics with a mix of video lectures, audio content, research articles, and originally developed resources — all accessible in your online learning portal.

Quizzes & Assignments: Each module includes an online quiz to reinforce your learning (minimum 80% pass rate)

Pre-Recorded Video and Audio Content: Pre-recorded mini lectures and concept introductions (audio/video/slide content) that will guide and support your learning about key concepts in menopause support. This content is available on-demand, creating a space where you can learn at your own pace, any time.

Practicum (20 Hours Minimum): Once you’ve completed your modules and module quizzes, you will be asked to complete a practicum with a minimum of 2 clients totalling at least 20 hours. This is where your learning comes to life — building your confidence and real-world skills as a Menopause Support Practitioner. Our team is ready to coach you and support you along the way!

Educational Units (EUs): 8 approved Educational Units are required, with a written summary of your experience. Doula School helps support students in finding free and low-cost EU options.  Educational Units constitute 8 additional hours of learning that you, the student, choose outside of the core content of the program. The aim is for our students to research and deepen their knowledge in areas of interest related to your MSP program and to provide feedback on the learning experience and how you will use the additional content for your practice with clients. Webinars, conferences, additional readings, and community events are examples of EU possibilities.
