Fourth Trimester Journey Course

Ignite the Postpartum Doula Within


This course is for you if:

  • you desire to make a difference in the world
  • you are passionate about protecting and supporting new families
  • you wish to earn a living with purpose
  • you are willing to journey inward

Starting from the inside, you will explore the work of a postpartum doula. It is equally as important to delve into your desires, passions, and beliefs to better serve the families you will be guiding. You will learn about the fourth trimester of birth through individual activities, online viewing, reading, and exploring. You will have a buddy to be accountable to and for when possible. You will have me, Betsy as your mentor.

Get ready for some fun learning, and deep introspection.

I am Betsy Schwartz, pioneer and a visionary. In 1994 I established Tenth Month Doula Services, the first of its kind in South Florida. My most recent accomplishment is the creation and publication of Down the Canal – The Game of Birth. My website Birth in the Know has a wealth of information. I am a former board member of the Florida Breastfeeding Coalition, and a founding member of the Coalition for Improving Maternity Services. My master’s degree is in management of human services. My 27+ year career has been in being a postpartum doula, and training many. In 2012 I became a Reiki practitioner, and since then a Reiki Master. My newest hobbies are drumming and Dragonboat racing.
