Join us in this transformative journey of becoming a certified doula.

Mary Betsellie, CPM LM,  The founder and director of Traditional Childbirth Arts. ​Inspired by my own home birth experience in 2003, I became a fervent advocate for normal physiological birth. I attended my first birth in a supportive role in 2006. I certified as a Birth Doula shortly thereafter. Recognizing the need for local doula certification options, I began sharing my expertise with aspiring doulas in 2015. My vision is to foster a community of support for those navigating the journey of birth work. In our courses, we don't just "train" birthworkers. We go beyond to facilitate a deeper understanding and connection to the innate wisdom of supporting birth.

Dawn Oliver, CD (TCBA) I am committed to telling women the truth about childbirth, their bodies, and their options. I go above and beyond to make sure women are heard, cared for and reassured and that their thoughts and feelings matter. By providing factual information and creative problem-solving, I equip parents for a confident birthing and parenting journey. I started Compassionate Care Doula Services to provide ethical, superior, compassionate services. Originally trained by DONA, I quickly realized that I needed to reach further to provide better education and a more supportive organization.  Through Traditional Childbirth Arts. (formally TDMA) I studied with fabulous teachers, including Mary Betsellie and T’Karima Ticitl. Inspired to share my experience and knowledge, I naturally transitioned into my role as a Traditional Childbirth Arts Instructor. I offer services as a Birth Doula, Postpartum Doula, Doula Instructor, Child Birth Educator, Infant Care Educator, Birth Pool Rental Resource, Placenta Encapsulator, and Doterra Essential Oils.  Noelle Beutler CD (TCBA) Hello! I’m Noelle. I’m a plant-obsessed wife to my high school sweetheart and a homeschooling mom of four.  I run the family circus consisting of 1 dog, 5 cats, 2 Guinea pigs, and a house chicken.  I’ve been serving the Long Island birth community for 8 years as a doula, placenta specialist, and childbirth educator.  I’m in my second year as a midwifery student working towards my CPM credentials and just enrolled to become a certified lactation professional.  In birth, I’m most passionate about accessibility to care, bodily autonomy, informed choice, shared decision making and inclusivity.  Non-birth related, I’ve taken a deep dive down vibrational and sound therapy, spend as much time as I can in nature, and am always planning the next camping trip!
