Why Certify with Us?
Because our certification isn’t about checking a box — it’s about becoming the person families remember.
You’re not just “trained.” You’re trusted.
You’ve walked through our transformative education process, created by Vallen Webb — a loss mom, bereavement doula, educator, and founder who built Evelyn James & Co. after the stillbirth of her daughter Evelyn. This is training with heart, and certification with honor.
Our standard is compassion + competence.
Our mission is to change the way grief is supported in birth and postpartum care.
And you? You’re part of that mission now.
