Our world is changing. As a birth practitioner, you see this every day.
We are experiencing a global shift away from the over-medicalization of birth.
And with that shift, the demand for highly-trained natural birth practitioners is growing rapidly.
Women are no longer accepting birth as a “condition that must be treated”.
They seek a more gentle, natural — and yes, orgasmic! — experience.

For more than 30 years, Debra has traveled the world and been present for thousands of births, gaining international recognition for her expertise in childbirth. From hospitals to out in nature, beautiful and orgasmic to painful and tragic, she has seen it all.
She watched as the over-medicalization of hospital births became the norm and women too often become just another patient, and she has also been witness to the ways that this has negatively impacted so many families, and ultimately, our entire world. The unfortunate reality is the inequities in healthcare have had a deep, lasting impact.
But there is good news. Women are awakening to the need to return home to themselves and their innate ability to do that which is most natural — give birth — without unnecessary medical intervention. It takes an educated, compassionate team to support mama and baby in having the best possible birth experience.
The Orgasmic Birth Practitioner Program is a specialized advanced course experienced advanced doulas, nurses, and midwives can obtain CEU credits (continuing education credits). We approach childbirth through the framework of pleasure and sensuality, offering a nuanced and relevant practice for improving negative birth experiences and outcomes.
Remove the shame and stigma associated with birth as a pleasurable experience.
Call forth the divine feminine power that has been shunned away.
Bring healing to past trauma and honor the power birth has to heal.
Give voice to women who have been silenced.
Advocate for and bring forth change, removing the inequities that exist in the medical field when it comes to birth and postpartum.
Be a leader in the return to the way birth is meant to be by equipping your clients with pleasure practices and tools to overcome fear.
Feel confident sharing how sexual healing, openness, and processing of barriers will lead to more pleasurable birth, postpartum and overall sexual health.
Become part of a supportive community of birth keepers from around the globe.

For the past 30 years, I have traveled the world as a childbirth educator, doula, and doula instructor, gathering invaluable knowledge, tools, and inspiration. Now I want to share with you all the essential knowledge that I’ve picked up along the way – my secrets, my tools, and the inspiration for my work.
My journey began with my own empowering birth experience, which led me to question and challenge the over-medicalization of childbirth. As one of the first DONA-approved birth and postpartum doula trainers, I have dedicated my career to promoting respectful, empowering, and pleasurable birth experiences.
As chair of the International MotherBaby Childbirth Organization and co-chair of the International Childbirth Initiative, I advocate for safe, respectful maternity care. I directed the award-winning documentary “Orgasmic Birth®” in 2008 and authored The Ultimate Guide to Sex After Baby: Secrets to Love and Intimacy in 2020.
To share insights from my fieldwork, I developed the Orgasmic Birth® Practitioner Program, which aims to equip compassionate birth workers with the skills to support women in having dignified, meaningful birth experiences. Join me on this sacred journey to transform birth and maternity care!

In childbirth, systemic racism is the root cause of disparities leading to higher maternal mortality rates for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC). We believe doulas help to create a more equitable, respectful, maternity care system.
We want to support and amplify BIPOC voices and support every person to have a safe, satisfying, and pleasurable birth and ensuring doulas can access continuing education and training is an essential step.
