MAMA GLOW DOULA IMMERSION – LEVEL 1 – SUMMER WEEKEND INTENSIVE PROFESSIONAL TRAINING PROGRAM
PREGNANCY – BIRTH – EARLY POSTPARTUM 
WITH LATHAM THOMAS
In June of 2018 Mama Glow launched the Mama Glow Doula Immersion Professional Training Program and offered this in-person intensive weekend course in Brooklyn, New York, Los Angeles, Miami, and Paris. Since 2020, Mama Glow has been offering the Mama Glow Doula Homeschool Professional Training Program online to serve our global community of birth workers.

We are pleased to announce that we will host our first in-person intensive doula training program since 2020! Join us June 20-22, 2025 in Brooklyn, NY.

Mama Glow Doula Immersion Professional Training Program includes LIVE in-person training with Latham Thomas and modules with guest teachers, assignments to complete at home after the end of the program. The Mama Glow Doula Immersion Professional Training Program covers pregnancy through the early postpartum period. 
This program is open to all regardless of previous experience.

Our work at Mama Glow is to improve the experience of birth for people everywhere. We are changing the face of maternal health by empowering birthing people at the threshold of change in their lives. We see birth as a unique opportunity to support and empower all people as well as educate society about the innate strength of the body and the sacred process of pregnancy and birth. We offer full spectrum doula support. Our doulas support clients during fertility, birth clients and new parents, holding their hands as they transition into this new phase of their lives. We seek to dismantle the stigmas and fears around the birth process for birthing folks. We also work to democratize birth support and have birth doulas available for every person or family that desires one. 

As birth activism is central to the pulse of our mission and training, we weave the thread of advocacy with our distinguished, world-renown and award-winning program. The course includes preparation and education for birth doula support. This is a CERTIFICATE PROGRAM designed to advance birth workers professionally. 
Receive a supreme education with Mama Glow
The Mama Glow Professional Doula Training Program has been offered as a course in Gender and Sexuality Studies at Brown University where Mama Glow founder Latham Thomas was appointed Visiting Professor of the Practice of Gender and Sexuality Studies in the Pembroke Center for Teaching and Learning on Women. 
What makes Mama Glow unique? 
Aside from our world class and one-of-a-kind program content and teaching methodology, the Mama Glow Doula Professional Training Program includes ongoing Professional and Work-force Development, which means we hold your hand as you take your certification journey and provide job placement support as you advance your career. We even offer accelerated certification support and mentorship to help you complete your doula certification. 
Mama Glow Doula Immersion Professional Training Program is a Path To Doula Certification with Mama Glow.
Upon completion of the in-person, 3-Day immersion weekend, and course homework, doula trainees receive a Mama Glow Doula Trainee Certificate that indicates that they are ready to start their work in the field, are adequately prepared to support birthing clients, and are on the path towards doula certification. You will continue your learning with guided support outside of class. We offer monthly certification support to ensure you complete the course requirements for doula certification. It is our belief that every doula who emerges from the homeschool program should be equipped to serve birthing people during pregnancy, birth and the early postpartum period.

LEVEL 1 is the first step towards full MAMA GLOW DOULA certification. Beyond the homeschool weekly program, doulas-in-training will need to complete mandatory coursework, reading, essays, attend mandatory LEVEL 1 Modules (virtually) that support continuing education for doulas on the path to LEVEL 1 certification. All this work will begin after your in-class training period. After completion of LEVEL 1 you will be eligible to take the LEVEL 2 program which focuses on Complicated Birth and Postpartum Doula Support.

LEVEL 1 will prepare newly minted doulas to begin working in all settings, including in traditionally underserved and under-estimated communities. Many of our doulas have successfully transitioned into full time doula work. Our program is a pathway to securing work as a practicing doula and we provide opportunities for our Mama Glow Doula Trainees (DT) and Mama Glow Certified Doulas (CD) to secure birth clients around the USA and the world through our bespoke Doula Matching service, private partnerships and community-based doula programs through the Mama Glow Foundation.
We care about community.
Level 1 Doula Trainees will have a designated TA (a Teacher Assistant) to help support you during the program in our private online community. Trainees have an orientation the week prior to class starting and a private group within our online membership platform.
