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.

Our prerecorded core content classes are instructed by either Sabia, Iya Mystique, Kaytee, or all core teachers. Also included are prerecorded masterclasses with guest teachers and prerecorded Q&A sessions for you to use for accountability as you work through training materials.

All prerecorded sessions are between 75 and 120 minutes long.
