Become a Full-Spectrum Lactation Educator!

Our Lactation Educator Training educates aspiring lactation professionals about the holistic needs of lactation.

From the anatomy of human milk, to providing inclusive & trauma-informed care education to various communities, this is definitely a “one-of-a-kind” type of training that will prepare you to become an inclusive lactation educator.

This training is suitable for both new and experienced doulas.

Live classes on 12 consecutive Tuesdays at 1pm EST, beginning June 4, 2024. These will be core content classes with either Sabia, Iya Mystique, Kaytee, or all core teachers. There will be 12 live sessions on Thursdays at 1 pm EST. These will either be a live masterclass with a guest teacher, a live Q&A session, a live virtual mixer, or a co-working session for you to use for accountability as you work through training materials.

All live sessions are between 75 and 120 minutes long.

Attendance is NOT required. Replays are shared on the learning platform.
