“If we’re going to be effective at caring for others, we have to know the landscape of the human condition. We, in many ways, will walk it together, dropping the idea of directing the journey or getting anywhere in particular, but staying open to being awestruck by what’s actually there.”
-Karen Laing
Our Work and Vision
Healthcare that Heals
At WisdomWay, our courses and training are built from a desire to bring compassionate care to families and new parents while providing a sustainable business model for doulas and lactation educators.
Awareness, Integrity, Evidence-Based Knowledge, and Skills.
Our training provides self-reflective care practices and offers a process for creating more meaningful relationships with clients. We believe in creating sustainable processes that keep in mind the health and wellbeing of the caregiver and the care-receiver.
You’ll learn about the art of effective communication, how to empower those you serve, and how to maintain self-awareness and self-compassion as you care for others. You’ll also gain a wealth of wisdom and knowledge, and learn how to collaborate within a healthcare team and the family’s chosen circle of support.
Training with WisdomWay provides you with the most comprehensive, in-depth foundation to be an expert in the first year of a family’s life. You’ll receive mindfulness-based and relationship-centered skills training that will support you in this and other careers.
Earn the trust of your clients, the respect of your referral partners, and a career that is sustainable and nourishing.
This is a different kind of doula training.
