Companion Workbook
The active-practice partner to the textbook.
Twenty-one chapters of structured study, mirrored to the textbook chapter for chapter. Vocabulary review, anatomy and physiology review, discussion prompts with full writing space, a chapter quiz at the end of every chapter, and a back matter packed with the actual conversation guides you’ll use with clients.
The active-practice partner to The Data Driven Doula textbook.
Where the textbook teaches the science, ethics, and skill of community doula work, the workbook is where students put it into their hands. Twenty-one chapters mirror the textbook chapter for chapter, each one opening with the same learning objectives and moving into structured vocabulary review, anatomy and physiology review where the science calls for it, discussion questions with full writing space, and a ten-question chapter quiz.
Designed for ICEA-aligned birth doula training programs and self-paced learners alike.

Every chapter walks through the same structure, so practice becomes a habit, not a guessing game.
Each chapter opens with the exact learning objectives from the textbook, so the workbook chapter and the textbook chapter aim at the same target.
A structured review built from that chapter’s glossary terms. Reinforces the language students will need on the floor and in the chart.
In the chapters where the science calls for it, an A&P review consolidates the structures and physiology before the application work begins.
Open-ended discussion questions with full writing space. Works equally well for personal reflection or small-group cohort work.
Ten multiple-choice questions to check comprehension before moving on. Answer key and rationales in the back matter.
At the end of every unit, a twenty-question quiz draws across all of that unit’s chapters to support synthesis and exam preparation.
The references, agendas, and conversation guides students will actually use with clients — gathered in one place at the back of the book.
A single-page visual that lays out the full arc of doula care from intake through archive — every contact, every handoff.
Every visit a doula will run, walked through in order, with SOAP-style record-keeping notes that support insurance reimbursement.
The complete intake conversation guide, ready to print and use. The same questions Maddy uses with her own clients.
The postpartum visit guide with the PHQ-2 depression screening tool, scoring, and full escalation guidance for crisis disclosure.
A clinical reference card covering the warning signs that need escalation — for mom and for baby, organized for quick lookup.
A reference card decoding the language of the hospital chart — the abbreviations new doulas hit constantly and shouldn’t have to guess at.
A finished, ready-to-share handout for potential clients, providers, and community partners. Print, hand it across the table.
Every chapter and unit quiz answered with rationales, so students learn from the rationale, not just the letter.
Built for ICEA-aligned birth doula training programs and self-paced learners. Supports retention, self-assessment, and the transition from study to practice. Pretty pastel design, generous writing space, and a chapter-by-chapter completion tracker make it as warm to use as it is rigorous.
“The textbook teaches the science. The workbook is where students put it into their hands.”
