What is the difference between a midwife and a doula?

What is the difference between a midwife and a doula? Are doulas just wannabe midwives? Find out some of the differences in training, approach, continuity and functions. Also find out why so many midwives are considering switching career to being a doula. Can doulas act as midwives in freebirths? What are the legal implications of working as a birthkeeper in Ireland? For this and much more listen in.

Next Comprehensive Doula Training starts October 2026. Suitable for midwives looking to move out of obstetric settings, suitable for people who know lots about birth, suitable for people who have never given birth, suitable for people who know nothing but feel a call, suitable for those with great personal birth experiences, with challenging experiences and also with no experiences at all.
