About the Menopause Doula Council
We are the Menopause Doula Council — the guiding light and the governing body behind the Menopause Doula Certification™.
We train, credential, and support a growing global community of Certified Menopause Doulas — women trained by our Founder and Clinical Director, Dr. Fiona Lovely. The Council is their professional home. Through our certification and continuing education, business training, and The Guild — our community of practice — our Doulas keep learning and keep growing alongside one another. They bring both science and soul to this work. They advocate, educate, and validate their clientele — women who are looking for assurance and guidance through the menopause transition.
The Council holds our Certified Menopause Doulas to a high standard. Our mission is to create a space where women can become more well-resourced in health, wealth, and purpose. We know that our communities thrive when women are resourced and leaders within them. We educate to contemporary scientific standards, but we hold the science with an open hand — one that leaves room for the magic and mystery of being a woman.
