Birth Education Advocacy Mentorship
How we got our start
In 2019, Brittany Fadiora established B.E.A.M. Birth Network (Birth Education Advocacy & Mentorship). At that time, Fadiora held the position of Director of Doula Affairs for Mumda, the largest doula agency in Florida. Drawing from her extensive experience in the doula field, Fadiora recognized a pressing need for revamping doula training methods.
Although doulas were entering the agency with training and certification from well-regarded organizations, they often lacked the essential confidence, knowledge, support, and skill set required to excel as birth doulas in the delivery room. Despite numerous doulas attending birth doula training sessions annually, a substantial number abandoned their practice as birth doulas within just two years.
Initiated as an exclusive training and apprenticeship program for Mumda Doulas, the Mumda training program gained immense popularity. This initiative has since evolved into the comprehensive BEAM Birth Doula Skills Training, now accessible to doulas beyond the Mumda network.
