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.

This course provides so much VBAC specific information for supporting families. It is a perfect supplement to other training which does not go as in-depth with VBACs. Considering the amount of cesarean births happening in the US, this is an important tool to have in your doula resources. In addition to the valuable course content, the referrals and community support after completing the course are paramount! So many VBAC referrals coming into my business from the Find A Doula page! 10/10 would recommend.

I’ve gotten so many clients from being a VBAC Link certified doula!! The community they have built for VBAC moms is incredible, and this course is amazing for birth workers. I did not have a csection myself, but being able to learn from two women who have had VBACs has helped me relate to my clients so much more!
Hannah Troyer –
If I could give the VBAC Link 5 millions stars, I would. It’s just that good! I have been a doula for 3.5 years now and have supported multiple VBAC mamas. This course has changed everything about how I will support, educate, and love on VBAC mamas from now on. The evidence based information, positive attitude, professionalism, education, encouragement, and JOY I have received from Julie and Meagan leave me at a loss for words. I am so grateful I found this incredible source of information on VBACs. I am sharing it with everyone I know! If you are on the fence about buying this course, just DO IT. You won’t regret this invaluable information that has been tied up in such a easy to learn package. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you VBAC Link!!!!

I LOVE THIS COURSE. I am an experienced doula and I’ve supported a number of VBAC clients in the past. But I will doula differently now that I’ve taken this course. I loved the information. I also love the connection you have to the VBAC link community after your certification is done. HIGHLY recommend. 🙂

Allison Mennie –
Very clear and de-mystified a lot of info for me. I loved having the booklet to use to follow along and I bring it with me to my VBAC client meetings. Highly recommend taking the course to broaden your knowledge and better support VBAC clients.
Dolly Mama –
This course has been so beneficial to me as a Birth & Postpartum Doula. While supporting the birthing person it helps to give them insight even to first time Birchers ! It’s a wonderful tool to have. My manual is so well worn, I need to order another. Julie and Meagan are always willing to answer any questions that I have encountered along the way. I most definitely recommend to any birth-worker or birthing person to take this evidence based course!
Jenn Fantasia –
This course was just what I was looking for ro be better equipped to help my clients trying for a VBAC. The book goes with me to every VBAC client meeting and is referred back to often. So grateful that I found this course!

This course was really great. I enjoyed having the materials in front of me while I was working through the online modules. I also love the look of the materials. I was working with a VBAC client while getting my certification and I don’t think that I would have been successful without doing the course. Meagan and Julie did a phenomenal job creating this awesome resource.
Whitney Hollingsworth –
This course was fantastic and so thorough! The combo of having the manual and online modules was really great. I also loved keeping the manual in my doula bag for as needed reference during my VBAC prenatals. This course gave me more knowledge and insight to come alongside my VBAC clients and better serve them as they prepare for birth!
Brooke Volpe –
A manual that never gets put in the corner – like never. I am so grateful for the time and energy that went into the advanced doula VBAC course. The manual is constantly referenced as I continue to support VBACs as a doula, from helpful communication tools to easy statistics and considerations, pros and cons, so much content! I feel so blessed to have found this course.
Haley Kerr –
Excellent course, very clearly laid out with materials in hand for notes and references. Also enjoyable to get to know Julie and Meagan, and their experiences!

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!
Bonnie Baker –
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!
Jenny –
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!
Nicole –
THANK YOU for mentioning the undercurrents of racism still afflicting modern medical care!!!
Jenny Putnam –
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.
