Description
Introducing our Advanced VBAC Doula Certification
The Advanced VBAC Doula Certification system is the most comprehensive VBAC doula training in the world, perfectly packaged in an online, self-paced video course — all designed to teach you how to increase your ability and confidence in supporting parents birthing after Cesarean.
Together we have helped hundreds of doulas increase their knowledge and fine-tune their support methods. We are the VBAC pros.
We know how to give you the wisdom and tools to move you from where you are now to the VBAC doula you want to be — one where you are your client’s expert guide, perfectly equipped with all the tools you will need along the way.
This course is right for you if:
- You want to feel stronger and more prepared for birth support
- You are looking to be confident and thriving in your doula career
- You want to know the difference between information based on facts vs. fear
- You want a community of doulas who “get you”
- You want to learn how to navigate around your VBAC birth community
- You are ready to feel 100% in control of your VBAC support
Education is critical – if you don’t know the options available, you won’t have any to offer to your clients. Learning how to identify a VBAC supportive provider, the facts about uterine rupture, and how to encourage the pelvis and baby to be in the best position for birth is critical. We will teach you how to help your clients make informed decisions about their care and how to advocate for themselves in the birth space. Teaching doulas about VBAC is what we do every day.
In this course, you will learn…
- What makes a VBAC parent different
- Processing Cesarean birth with your clients
- Essential VBAC stats & facts
- VBAC and C-section risks & benefits
- Red flags for providers and birthplace
- Safely avoiding C-sections
- Signs of uterine rupture in labor
- What to expect during TOLAC
- How to support the emotional needs of yourself & your clients
Are you ready? Let’s do this.
We encourage our birth worker students to have completed comprehensive training related to their course of birth work before attending this VBAC support class. This is not a typical doula training. We focus exclusively on the extra information you need to prepare yourself to support your clients as they prepare for VBAC.

Marvellous course content. Thoroughly enjoyed the course and often refer back to the manual when dealing with clients. The manual is one of my major resources to look up to when dealing with VBAC mamas.
Thank you Julie and Meagan!

The VBACLink is seriously changing lives! I’m so glad I was able to take this course to further educate my self on how to help women achieve an empowered birth experience, not just a successful VBAC.
Hillary Powell –
If you are a birthworker, you should take this course! If you are on the fence about whether to do it, take the leap and invest in yourself! Your clients need this information and you need these tools!
Ashley –
TOLAC/VBAC should be treated just like any other birthing person, but there is certain preparation and information that needs to be offered to them, and your course covered that. The value is held in your careful recognition of how best support our clients who are doing a TOLAC.
I cannot praise you two enough for the fear release activity. Honestly, it is something I can apply to even myself, before and after a birth, and even in life in general. Thank you for that. It has already helped three of my VBAC clients!

I’ve been a doula for 11 years, and have seen changes occur over time, but there is still a ways to go! This course was a FANTASTIC way to brush up on the latest statistics and to do some well needed continuing education on the current state of VBAC here in the US. Thank you!

This course was so helpful to my doula practice! I especially appreciated the evidence-based information, which my clients have found particularly useful. The tools and the manual are all invaluable!
Jill McKnight –
I absolutely LOVE the VBAC Link! I am so thankful for the information provided in this course, I only wish I had access to it when I planned my VBAC almost 10 years ago! I highly recommend this course to birth workers and doulas.
Carla Hamze –
I love love the course, it is very organized and straight to the point. I love the fact that i can get back to the course anytime. In addition to that the manual is very useful.

I loved this course! As a VBAC mama myself, a doula, and educator this course provided real life tools to help clients through their pregnancy and birth experiences. I came out of it with stronger knowledge of the history of VBAC and the many ways to help clients navigate their births.
