Meet Robin Elise Weiss, Doula Trainer
Hi, I'm a birth doula trainer, longtime educator, and the person behind the screen cheering you on as you build a doula practice that actually works for your life. I’ve spent over 30 years supporting birth workers and growing doulas into confident professionals, not just with heart, but with real-world tools and business know-how.
You could say I’m leading a quiet revolution in doula work, equal parts heart, humor, and spreadsheet. And the wild part? I still keep it feeling like a one-on-one conversation. Whether you’re brand new or ready to grow, I’m here to help you get clear, stay consistent, and show up for your clients and yourself.
Ph.D., MPH, BDT/AdvCD(DONA), CLC, LCCE, FACCE
Becoming a doula shouldn't be difficult. I can help.
Why I do what I do...
The first birth I attended—by accident—shocked me. I wasn’t there as a doula. But so many things were happening, and the mother had no idea what was going on. I didn’t know anything about birth, but I knew it wasn't supposed to be like this.
Robin's Background & Training
Supporting birthing families since 1988
My training comes from a variety of sources both in the classroom and the labor room. This has helped me be a really amazing doula trainer as I can bring the work I do as a doula (Yes, I'm still practicing!) to the work I do as a doula trainer.
I've also spent time learning a lot about policy and how policies and systems play into birth today. This insight has allowed me to have conversations with hospitals and others that were not possible before. I think it makes a great addition to the hands-on work I do with families.
