I recently finished my Doula training and Postpartum Doula training with Juli and Nickie Tilsner. They are fabulous! The classes are small so there is plenty of time for questions and the class content is great. I feel quite prepared to attend births and to help mamas and their families postpartum.

I highly recommend attending Cornerstone Doula Training if you are considering becoming a Doula!

Having just finished my training with Cornerstone Doula Trainings I feel well prepared to go out and begin work as a doula.  The extensive education with Nickie and Juli included everything from physiology and the processes of birth, to bedside manner and how to work with hospital staff to get the best support for doula clients.  

The training occurred in a supportive environment where questions and discussion were encouraged, which is extremely important with such a complex and emotional set of topics.  Juli and Nickie are amazing educators who I feel privileged to have worked with, and feel comfortable knowing that they will be there to support me as I begin my journey into the field of doula work.

There are a number of places to get doula training in the Bay Area and some are much cheaper, but none of the others that I looked at were as extensive with the beginning course on being a birth doula having 48 hours of class, and the advanced postpartum training being 16 hours of class.

I took the Cornerstone Doula Training this past year and was totally blown away by the knowledge and passion of these women. I am an acupuncturist and I treat a lot of pregnant women. I thought it would be beneficial to educate myself more on the birth process from this perspective, but never thought I would walk out of there with as much detailed understanding as what I gained from the 4 day course. I feel that I gained more practical and useful information from this course than all the hours of training in women's health in my schooling. From this course I feel more confident and capable to practice acupuncture at births if necessary, as well as understand more what the late trimester women in my practice are experiencing. I highly recommend this course to anyone wanting to break into the birthing community - either as a doula or perhaps as the beginnings to a midwifery career, or anyone else who wants to learn about the birthing process from a truly integrative perspective.

I highly recommend Cornerstone Doula trainings for anyone looking for a deep understanding of the work and support for becoming a Doula.  Many trainings offer good content, but Juli and Nickie really understand and teach the emotional and spiritual aspects of this work.  The trainings are thorough and holistic in nature.  The classes offer rich content and discussions and opportunities for deep connections with other students.  The instructors take the time to address personal issues that come up as result of entering into this powerful and charged material.  And, I really felt prepared to attend births immediately after taking this course.  The instructors have also been available to support me as I've started attending births.  Juli and Nickie really care about their students and the work their students undertake in the world."
