Doula Training in Oregon

Oregon does not require birth doula to become certified in order to work in the state. It is entirely voluntary to pursue a certification or to have a college degree in order to train or work there.

Below, you will find a list of educational classes and workshops available in Oregon which can be part of your doula training. If you are planning to enroll in a certification-granting program, please read the details carefully to determine whether the classes are a required part of that program’s curriculum.
