It’s time to step into your calling!
Get ready to turn your passion for birth & postpartum into a fulfilling career that allows you to guide women into motherhood… while building a legacy for your family & community at the same time!
Hey, aspiring doula & educator — does this sound like you?
You’re totally obsessed with pregnancy, birth, and babies. You’ve read all the birth books 📚, binged all the birth podcasts 🎙, and your newsfeed is overflowing with birth pictures 📸…
Birth has transformed you (even if you haven’t given birth yet yourself), and you want to give women the support they crave while helping them achieve their autonomous, kickass, fearless dream births.
You see so clearly how the birth industry is broken… and you want to help women avoid the all-too-common cascade of interventions that leads to unnecessary trauma.
And even though you want to be a doula with your whole heart, you don’t want to “sell” your services or hustle to find clients.
You don’t want to pass out your business cards or sit through cliquey networking events…. instead, you’d rather show up authentically and have your dream clients reaching out to you!
I mean, who wouldn’t?!
But even though there’s an undeniable fire in your soul that’s calling you into birthwork… maybe some thoughts have been crossing your mind like:
→ How you’ll stand out when you’re starting from scratch, and there are already a million other doulas out there…
→ How you’ll navigate being on call when you have small children of your own…
→ What it would be like not spending time with your family or skipping out on family vacations to attend births…
→ How you’ll make enough money to pay off your doula training, pay your bills, and quit your day job.
Trust me when I say this… We’ve all been there!
I’m here to tell you that you don’t have to choose between becoming a birthworker and building your dream life…
You don’t have to sit on the sidelines because you can’t attend a million births per month or because you don’t want to leave your nursing baby at home.
You can be a doula AND…
🏡 Stay home with your kids... 💰 Make a life-changing income…. 🌏 Travel the world... 🎸 Be a rockstar homeschooling mom... 🗓 Have a predictable, stable schedule…
And when you join Birthworker Academy, you’re getting my entire step-by-step framework, so you won’t spend a single second thinking, “Wait, what am I supposed to do next?”
Instead, you’ll be saying, “I know exactly how to show up in the world to attract my dream client. I know exactly how to support my client’s birth & postpartum in the best way possible. And I feel confident showing up as an expert and sharing my passion and knowledge with women across the world.”
Before Birthworker Academy, women all over the world would finish their training and burn out FAST from a ❌ lack of boundaries, ❌ lack of structure, ❌ and a complete lack of foundational knowledge…
But that won’t be your story… because our students are:
⭐️ Only saying “yes” to perfectly aligned clients…
⭐️ Confidently supporting women in a variety of birth settings — homebirth, hospital birth, birth center, you name it!…
⭐️ Creating packages that don’t always require them to be on call...
⭐️ Building authentic businesses that fit their values and lifestyle goals…
⭐️ Never attending a birth out of financial desperation…
⭐️ Creating thriving authentic communities in person and online…
⭐️ Expanding their impact by hosting workshops and teaching childbirth education programs…
— And you can too!
The question is no longer, “Is it possible?”
The question is: “Are you ready to get started?!”
Aspiring to be a…
Birth Doula? Postpartum Doula? Birth Coach? Or Childbirth Educator?
We’ve trained them all!

If anyone is on the fence about being a birthworker, YOU’RE MEANT TO BE A BIRTHWORKER!
This program found me when I needed it most. Since I started the program, it gave me such a clear idea of what I want the rest of my life to look like.
In the beginning, I wasn’t sure if it was the right time for me financially, but there was something in me that knew that waiting wasn’t going to help. And I’m so glad every day that I joined.
It has really changed my life. If you’re on the fence, JUST DO IT!
— Allie Rezac
I swear she could have charged, like $10,000 for this program because of how valuable it was!
The Birthworker Academy has made such a profound difference in my life. I’m doing things right now that I never thought I’d be doing. I’m actually a practicing doula!
I have six clients right now and it’s only been a month since the program! It’s really cool to be doing the things I set out to do — and it happened so fast!
And I think that’s because of how the program sets you up for success.
— Taylor Tanner
I needed a program that taught me not only HOW to be a doula, but how to build a business too.
The biggest win for me was being able to go through all the modules and not be overwhelmed by them. There is A LOT of content in the program, but it’s in bite-sized chunks which is huge for me because I get overwhelmed easily.
I was able to breeze through the program before the 15 weeks were up!

Want a sneak peek?
Check out everything you’ll learn inside the program… 👇🏻
Self Mastery For Birthworkers: Valued at $397
Before jumping into all things birth, you’ll start the program by getting up close and uncomfortable with your personal biases.
You can have all the passion in the world, but if you’re bringing your baggage into the birth room, you simply won’t be serving women (no matter how hard you try). If you don’t tackle this pillar first, you’ll be stuck with the industry standard… and if you don’t know yet… we’re living in a maternity care crisis. But you don’t need to worry about that because we’ll make sure you’re on the right track from day one.
In this first module of the program, you’ll begin to understand what it takes to be a conscious leader in the birth community. *Conscious Leader: to be entirely aware of the influence you have over a situation and to be here, now, in a non-triggered, non-reactive way.
We’ll cover topics like empathy, impulse control, and emotional expression, and you will learn how to:
Make decisions that are fully aligned with your head, heart, and gut.
Be a leader of change without falling into the “us versus them” narrative.
Serve women without trying to save women.
Support genuine transformation for your clients by listening without attachment.
Full Spectrum Doula Training: Valued at $2,000
Next, we’ll make sure you feel confident supporting women from pre-conception through the fourth trimester. You’ll get a comprehensive education in all things pregnancy, birth, and postpartum (taught through a lens of autonomy and trust for the physiological birth process).
This program is in-depth enough for a total newbie and an amazing refresher for the already birth-obsessed.
Get ready to completely level up your knowledge and confidence while also learning how to:
Support women in spite of our broken maternity care system.
Quickly and easily unpack research and spot researcher bias.
Dissect the “high-risk” label with your clients and put the power back in their hands.
Help women get the best outcomes with the least amount of intervention.
Help your clients avoid an unplanned cesarean.
Plus, we’ll dive into alternative practices like tinctures, herbs, oils, and homeopathy… and also newborn topics like breastfeeding and newborn sleep.
By the end of these lessons, you’ll be able to confidently hold space and support women in a variety of birth environments (and outcomes).
Full disclosure: this is the part most doula training programs completely miss the mark on — so we decided to make this program completely STACKED with practical lessons. We’ll even chat about:
Strategies for bringing your best self to every birth (no matter how it unfolds)...
Navigating the doula role in a maternity system overflowing with coercive providers…
Exactly how to support birth in all environments: hospital, birth center, homebirth, transfer, unassisted birth, planned cesarean, and more…
Ways to recognize urgent situations and what to do as a doula when birth doesn’t go as planned…
Supporting a miscarriage, recurring pregnancy loss, stillbirth, newborn loss, and walking with women through grief…
How to navigate obstetrical violence, support sexual assault survivors, and help women avoid birth trauma…
Everything You Need to Grow Your In-Person Doula & Childbirth Education Business: Valued at $397
It wouldn’t be a truely life-changing program if I didn’t walk you through every single step of setting up your doula business!
We’ll kick off this pillar by exploring all the different services you can offer as a birthworker, including birth support, postpartum support, virtual support, private birth coaching, placenta encapsulation, virtual support groups, birth photography, and hosting community mother’s circles.
And of course, I’ll help you nail down your offers, set up your packages, and price your services.
Get excited because you’ll also learn:
How to promote your services and make connections locally, globally, in person, and online.
How to lead consultations, create your contracts, streamline the onboarding process, and avoid burnout in the process.
How to structure prenatal appointments with your clients.
How to find a backup doula and how to attend births when you have your own babies at home.

Yes, this program is totally for you if…
✅ You trust each woman's inherent wisdom to discover her best path — and you promise never to coerce your clients into making ANY decision…
✅ You don’t want to wait until your kids are grown to become a doula — you’d rather start now so you can retire sooner 😉
✅ You’re new (or new-ish) to birthwork, and you're looking for long-term, sustainable, so-good-it’s-almost-unbelievable success!
✅ You’d love to be a birthworker, but you’re still not sure about living the “on-call” lifestyle 24/7/365 for the rest of your life — you’d rather build your career around your lifestyle and not the other way around!
This is probably not for you if…
❌ You think birth needs “fixing,” and you want to be a “hero” and “save” women…
❌ You already make over 6-figures in the birth community between your in-person doula services and online coaching offers.
❌ You think it will be easy, or if you just want someone to just do it all for you…
❌ You absolutely hate everything tech-related and aren’t willing to learn practical business skills. (Don’t worry, if you’re not tech-savvy, you’ll love all the tutorial videos!)
❌ You’re the kind of person who blames others and finds an excuse for everything.
Ready to meet your mentor?
👋🏻 Oh, hey! I’m Kyleigh – a doula mentor, business coach, and major birth nerd.
I’m the founder of The Autonomy Mommy, the host of the Birthworker Podcast, and the mastermind behind this Doula Training & Childbirth Educator Certification Program.
I quit my “real job” in 2020 to go full-time doula… and it changed my entire life. In less than three years, I was able to retire my partner and support our family… without being on call 24/7/365 or attending 100+ births a year.
I literally wake up every day pinching myself because I built a wildly successful doula + childbirth education + birth coaching business… AND I’M GOING TO SHOW YOU HOW TO DO IT, TOO!
I promise there will be no details left out. You and me? We’re besties now. You get all of my juicy birth AND business secrets!
You can be the best doula and educator in the world AND create your dream lifestyle simultaneously... And when you join Birthworker Academy, you’ll get there so much faster than you ever imagined.
Check out the amazing things our students are saying about the success they’ve had since joining Birthworker Academy!
What really got me with Birthworker Academy was being able to still do birthwork and not be on call ALL THE TIME.
I have a 17-month-old, so I needed a way to only support 1-2 births per month, but still have income.
I needed some way to do great things, and do exactly what I want to do… without having to be on call all the time.
This program has really shifted everything about me.
— Hannah Floyd
I was really drawn to this program because of how well-rounded it is.
Now looking back, after everything I’ve been able to do and what I’ve learned through the program — and I keep learning because I keep going back to it… It’s SO WORTH IT.
It’s worth it and more! And I would join 10,000 times again.
This is the fourth doula training I’ve done and I really don’t regret it at all. I’m so grateful I was able to be a part of this community.
— Gaby Gonzalez
Birthworker Academy has helped with basically my whole life balance. Now that I’m more clear on my business goals, I can clearly prioritize everything else around me!
Through Birthworker Academy, I was finally able to complete a free mini-course about how to heal from a difficult birth — which is something I’ve been wanting to do for years!
With the resources from the business portal and the coaching calls, I was finally able to get it done.
— Alexis Stearns

“One of my biggest wins was learning how to make the business side of things easier.
The Birthworker Academy helped me get my foundations down and helped me not be so consumed with the business side of things.
I was able to focus more on supporting women rather than trying to build my business because business isn’t my passion; supporting women is!”
— Courtney Hellyer
“I knew right after my own birth experience — and having my own Doula — that this is my path and my passion…
…But joining Birthworker Academy gave me the tools and the confidence to start my business and make it a true business.
Without the Birthworker Academy, it would have taken me years!”
