Students are required to purchase their own books prior to or at the start of their training. New Beginnings Doula Training does not maintain multiple copies or any sort of inventory of books required for the training program. Books may be purchased through any reputable bookseller online. We recommend checking books-a-million.com, thriftbooks.com, ebay.com or amazon.com. We do not receive any commission on links to these books from our websites. It is possible to borrow the books from a friend or your local library. However, purchasing is preferable to borrowing, since you will be referencing them often. Books are not required before starting your training, but will be needed to complete reading assignments associated with course assignments.
