Sacred Transformation · For Doula Training Programs
The most important parts of pregnancy often happen in the hundreds of hours between moments of care.
The doulas you train will accompany families through some of life’s most important moments. In Awe invites them to experience, for themselves, the terrain families move through in the hundreds of hours between moments of care—before they begin accompanying others.

What lives inside
A structured companion through the full arc of pregnancy
Designed to accompany families through the hundreds of hours where transformation is unfolding—and to give the doulas you are preparing a felt understanding of that terrain.
Reflective guidance
Structured experiences exploring identity, fear, relationships, hope, advocacy, grief, and becoming. Organized around the emotional thresholds of pregnancy, not trimester milestones. Includes advocacy tools, ancestral grounding, and practices for understanding what to carry forward and what to leave behind.
Companion journals
Eight companion journals, mirrored again inside Loving Legacies—for the pregnant person, their partner, their children, and the loved ones walking alongside them.
Outcome-inclusive care
In Awe holds families regardless of how their path unfolds. Loving Legacies—a complete companion for families navigating miscarriage, stillbirth, or the death of a baby—offers the same structural depth, the same journals, and the same partner and family pathways. Always included, and also available independently because emotional support shouldn’t disappear when outcomes change.
The experience the doulas you’re preparing carry into practice
The doulas who have lived this work accompany families differently.
Doula education teaches knowledge, communication, advocacy, ethics, physiology, and presence. In Awe offers something different.
It invites the doulas you’re preparing to experience the inner terrain of pregnancy for themselves—not so they can become experts in another person’s journey, but so they begin to recognize the kinds of questions, identity shifts, and moments of meaning that families often carry between visits.
Accompaniment isn’t only something we offer during visits. It’s something families experience between them, too.
The doulas who have moved through this material graduate knowing, from the inside, what it feels like to be accompanied through this kind of depth. That knowing shapes how they listen, what they notice, and what they reach for in the hours between.
Knowledge shapes what a doula knows. Experience shapes how a doula accompanies.
The role In Awe plays
Not defined by what’s inside it. Defined by where it walks beside families.
In those hours between moments of care, families are navigating identity shifts, relational changes, old stories resurfacing, fear arriving without warning, and the slow work of becoming someone new. They are human hours. And until now, almost no one has been present for them in a structured, intentional way.
The most important parts of pregnancy often happen in the hundreds of hours between moments of care. In Awe accompanies families there.
Every doula training program hopes its graduates will leave with knowledge, confidence, and presence. In Awe isn’t another body of knowledge. It’s an experience of accompaniment that the doulas you’re preparing carry with them into practice—a felt understanding of the terrain families move through between visits. That understanding shapes how they listen, what they notice, and what they reach for in the hours between.

Write to us →The Work Behind This Work
Before creating In Awe, I spent almost a decade teaching in higher education, much of that time working with students whose lives were far more complex than any syllabus could hold. I quickly learned that teaching was only the part of the work I got paid for. The real work meant helping people navigate uncertainty, grief, bureaucracy, pregnancy, poverty, violence, hope, and change—whatever life had brought through the door that day.
Over time, one lesson kept returning. Information is rarely enough. More resources are rarely enough. People also need someone willing to stay.
Throughout my career, I’ve found myself returning to the place where learning, language, and care meet. Along the way, that has taken the form of teaching, writing, editing, and curriculum design. In Awe is where those threads finally came together.
My own pregnancy didn’t start this work. It showed me where it needed to go.
The work has changed. The question hasn’t.
How do we help people move through life’s biggest thresholds with clarity, dignity, and care?
