Consistent Values, Ethics & Standards Of Excellence Across The Board

Allo Doula Academy recognizes the importance of having a standard and defined regulation in the doula profession and follows the scope and professional practice set forth by the National Doula Certification Board (NDCB). Allo Doula Academy is currently the only approved training provider by the National Doula Certification Board (doulaboard.org).

The National Doula Certification Board (NDCB) is currently undergoing the accreditation process at the ANSI National Accreditation Board (ANAB). The preliminary application has been accepted by ANSI under the ISO/IEC 17024 accreditation.

Our work at Allo Doula Academy focuses on three main value pillars:

COMMUNITY

We support our community, collaborate with our colleagues, and foster a sense of togetherness. We want you to know: you are not alone.

LEADERSHIP

We pride ourselves on being forward-thinking. We have high standards of excellence, strive for consistency, and champion continuing education.

CONNECTION

We prioritize trust and deep understanding. To us, that means being inclusive and non-judgemental, giving highly personalized attention, and weaving empathy into all we do.

In addition, Allo Doula Academy recognizes the sensitive nature of our work and ensures the following:

CONFIDENTIALITY

Allo Doula Academy ensures information obtained during the education and certification process from the student or sources other than the student will not be disclosed to any unauthorized party without the written consent of the student. ADA will notify the person concerned when ADA is required by law to reveal confidential information about that person (see our Student Handbook below for full privacy and confidentiality policies).

IMPARTIALITY & NON-DISCRIMINATION

Allo Doula Academy is committed to impartiality and does not discriminate nor unfairly impede or inhibit access on the basis of sex, race, color, religion, creed, gender, gender expression, age, national origin, disability, marital status, sexual orientation or military status in any of its activities or operations. ADA does not restrict certification or access to any of our programs based on membership in any association or group, or financial or other limiting conditions. 

Allo Doula Academy acts impartially in relation to applicants, students and certified persons, and has procedures in place to guard against known conflicts of interest to ensure impartial judgements.
