The Birthing Freedom Curriculum

Birthing Freedom For Birth Workers

Become a trained Birthing Freedom educator and inspire confidence in your clients. Our birth educator course equips you with the knowledge and educational assets to guide birthing families through a transformative experience.

As a dedicated birth worker, you understand the importance of visual aids in teaching. Our curriculum is tailored to meet this need precisely. It provides you with a comprehensive package, including our Body, Mind, & Spirit Birth Course, along with a range of handouts and an informative poster series. Included with the curriculum is the licensed ability to utilize these resources in in-person birth classes for both group sessions and one-on-one consultations with your valued birth clients.

Once trained, you’ll be able to start hosting successful birth classes in your own community.

Welcome video from the Founder

“Everyone enters pregnancy with their own unique life experiences…

Some good and some bad. As birth workers, our role often means leaving our experiences at the door and helping them work through issues like body image, fear, lack of self-esteem/self-trust, and supporting their efforts to learn in anticipation of their best birth. We center our care around the family and learn to leave our own bias outside of the sacred birth experience.
Embracing the power of intuition over rigid expectations is a lesson both birthing individuals and birth workers learn. At Birthing Freedom, our mission is rooted in love and support, aiming to foster positive change, one birth at a time."

Angela, Birthing Freedom Founder

  • Alexandra

    “I thought the course was great. I found it covered the whole spectrum of birth in a short amount of time. It made me excited about being a doula. The birth stories were beautiful, and hearing from a midwife first hand about what she felt was the most important/ powerful things you could do to prepare for birth.”

  • Toni

    “Approachable, digestible material with a mix of personal anecdotes and information but presented conversationally, so I found it easy to retain. Pregnancy care and interventions were the most practically informative. Still, I also loved the different women interviewed and the clips of women’s circles where people shared their experience, which gave me this real sense of camaraderie even to strangers I had never met”

  • Christy

    “Very pleasant and informative. I liked Angelea’s way of teaching and enjoyed her presence through the videos. I enjoyed the women’s journeys and their birth clips; this is amazing and unique from other programs! I also liked all the documents and educational info you get to continue learning and teaching with.

    This program had a ‘sisterhood’ feeling even though it was online and was self-paced.”

  • Sophie

    “This program created what birthing families and birth workers have been longing to have; real education about birth and everything in between. I found the course covered all the material anyone would want to know and a really good explanation of all of the procedures to make informed choices. about”
