Doula Training Academy Australia - Vicki Hobbs

Collaboration over competition.

That is our philosophy at Doula Training Academy - there is room for all of us.

One of the most valuable things about being part of our doula community is learning from one another, sharing experiences, and supporting fellow birth workers.

When we work together, families benefit from stronger support networks and a wider range of knowledge and resources.
Community matters.

Did you know that positioning and movement can play an important role during labour?

In the Pelvic Pathways & Optimal Positioning module inside the Doula Training Academy course, we look at practical ways doulas can support comfort and movement during labour and birth.

This includes pelvic alignment, optimal positioning, rebozo techniques, and simple comfort measures that can support labour progress and ease.

If you’d like an overview of the full training, I created a free guide you can download here:

“An incredible journey of learning. Heart-centred teaching, trauma sensitive approach, and deep knowledge of birth.”

Doula training is more than learning how to support birth - it’s a structured journey that builds your understanding of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum care step by step.

Inside the course, you explore areas such as:

• The role and scope of a doula in different settings
• Understanding pregnancy, labour, and birth processes
• Emotional, physical, and informational support skills
• Communication and advocacy for families
• Postpartum support and early parenthood care
• Building confidence to support real birth experiences

The training is designed to give you both knowledge and practical understanding, so you feel grounded in how to support families through each stage.

It’s not just about learning information - it’s about learning how to apply it in real life situations with care and confidence.

If you’ve been curious about doula training, this is where that journey begins.

MYTH: You need medical and clinical experience to become a doula.
TRUTH: No experience required. Doulas support women, not medical procedures

That’s exactly why I created a FREE guide - to show you how to begin, step by step.

Download it today and see what’s possible.
I also have videos explaining the training modules inside the free guide, designed for those who feel called to become a doula but aren’t sure where to start yet.

As a doula, one of the most valuable skills you can add to your toolkit is massage.

When I was actively working as a doula, I rarely needed to advertise my services because most of my clients came through my remedial and pregnancy massage practice, as well as my childbirth education classes. These services allowed me to build genuine relationships with women and their families long before labour began.

The reality is that people choose doulas they know, like and trust and feel connected to. By working with women throughout their pregnancy, you have the opportunity to develop that connection while also providing a service that can improve comfort, mobility and wellbeing while earning additional income.

If you'd like to expand your skills and add another valuable service to your practice, I'd love to have you join me for my 5-Day Pregnancy Massage & Pelvic Pathways Training next month.

New on the blog: Holding a Sacred Space for Everyone – Building an Inclusive Doula Practice

At the heart of doula work is creating a space where every family feels seen, safe, respected, and supported.

In this thoughtful article, Jessie Dana Wilkins shares reflections on what it means to build a truly inclusive doula practice - from cultural humility and compassionate care to continuing to learn as birth workers supporting diverse families and experiences.

Whether you’re an experienced doula or just beginning your journey, this is an important conversation for our whole birth community.

We’d love to hear your thoughts - what does inclusive support mean to you?
