Pregnancy Loss Training for Perinatal Professionals
This pregnancy loss doula training is designed for perinatal professionals who want to confidently, compassionately, and competently support families after miscarriage, stillbirth, TFMR, neonatal loss, and infant loss. Whether you are a doula, nurse, therapist, or postpartum professional, this training fills the critical gap between clinical care and real-life grief support.
Evelyn James & Company offers evidence-informed, trauma-aware pregnancy loss doula training rooted in lived experience, professional practice, and continuity of care beyond hospital discharge. Our programs prepare professionals to support families emotionally, practically, and ethically during one of the most vulnerable moments of their lives. This training is not about scripts alone, it is about presence, boundaries, grief literacy, and knowing how to show up when there are no easy answers.
What Is Pregnancy Loss Doula Training?
Pregnancy loss doula training is specialized education that prepares perinatal professionals to support individuals and families after the death of a baby during pregnancy or shortly after birth. This includes miscarriage, stillbirth, termination for medical reasons, and neonatal loss.
Unlike traditional doula or postpartum education, pregnancy loss doula training focuses on grief-informed care, emotional regulation, trauma awareness, communication, memory-making, and long-term support. It equips professionals with the knowledge, language, and skills needed to provide compassionate, ethical care during loss and in the months that follow.
Who This Training Is For
This training is designed for professionals who support families during pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and beyond, including:
Doulas (birth, postpartum, bereavement)
Birth workers and labor support professionals
Postpartum professionals and newborn care specialists
Nurses and healthcare professionals
Therapists, counselors, and mental health providers working in the perinatal space
No matter your role, if families look to you for guidance, support, or presence after pregnancy loss, this training was created for you.
It’s training that transforms you.
We hear this again and again:
“I’ll never be the same, in the best way.”
Our training doesn’t just add to your professional toolkit, it shifts the way you understand support, compassion, and trauma-informed care. It deepens your sense of purpose. It brings a new dimension to how you walk into your work.
You’ll learn, yes. But you’ll also feel.
You’ll reflect. You’ll challenge your assumptions. You’ll see grief and the people carrying it, in a whole new light.
And that changes everything.
Because when you’re trained with this kind of depth, you don’t just do the job.
You become the person families remember.
The one who didn’t flinch.
The one who held space.
The one who showed up.
And that’s the kind of care the world needs more of.
