More about the NDCB
The Certified Professional Doula Credential
The Certified Professional Doula credential is issued by the NDCB, qualifying individuals to work as professional doulas. Having sought accreditation by the ANSI National Accreditation Board (ANAB), the NDCB achieved official accreditation in November 2024. This marks the first organization to obtain such accreditation for the doula industry. By setting the standards for qualification to practice as a professional doula, the NDCB aims to standardize requirements for individuals who apply for certification and to maintain the levels of performance of all practicing professional doulas throughout their careers.
