Lamaze-accredited childbirth educator training
Teach childbirth classes families remember.
Three days, live on Zoom, with Robin Elise Weiss or Sharon Muza. You practice teaching, not just listening, and you leave with a printed workbook, lesson plans, handouts, and 27 contact hours.
Why childbirth education matters
A good childbirth class helps families:
- Make informed decisions based on evidence and their own values
- Build community and feel less afraid
- Approach labor and early parenting with confidence
- Remember what they learned weeks or months later, when they need it
Lamaze International's Six Healthy Birth Practices give your classes an evidence-based backbone that families and care providers recognize.
How the workshop teaches
The workshop models the kind of class you'll run: active, practical, and fun to teach.
You learn by doing
Activities, peer teaching, and discussion. You try the teaching tools yourself before you use them with families.
Tools you can use
Lesson plans, handouts, and templates you can start teaching from, in person or online.
Built for adult learners
How adults take in and keep information, so your classes stick with a wide range of families.
Inclusive by design
Language, materials, and activities that welcome every family, every body, and every way of feeding a baby.
Support after class
A community of CEP alumni and ongoing learning after the workshop ends, plus help as you prepare for your LCCE.
Who it's for
People who want childbirth education as their own career, and birth workers adding it to the work they already do. Here is how doulas use childbirth education in practice:
- Fill income gaps during slower birth months
- Bundle prenatal education with doula support
- Teach group classes as a separate revenue stream
- Offer private childbirth prep to clients who want one-on-one time
- Add value to services without adding on-call time
What you leave with
- 27contact hours that count toward DONA, ICEA, Lamaze, and other organizations
- A printed workbook, mailed to you before class
- Lesson plans and handouts for your own classes
- The Lamaze-accredited seminar you need for the LCCE
From CEP alumni
“I walked away with a full class plan, confidence, and the support of an amazing community. This was the best professional training I’ve taken.”
“I was nervous about public speaking and had no idea where to start. Robin and Sharon made everything feel doable and fun!”
“It’s not just a class. It’s a launchpad for becoming a great educator.”
“I love how you have given us so many engaging ways to teach! I am looking forward to using a lot of the ones we used in class.”
“Realizing how many different ways you can be inclusive of different birthers and families has been really eye opening. Even something as simple as the photos used in class can make people feel welcomed and accepted.”
“I think this was what I most hoped to get from this class; the how to teach. The confidence to deliver information with an aim, a purpose, and with impact.”
