Birth-Informed Touch Provider™ Certification
Trauma-Informed, Nervous-System-Aware Support for Pregnancy, Birth & Postpartum
The Birth-Informed Touch Provider™ Certification is a professional designation for massage therapists, doulas, and birth-adjacent practitioners who support pregnant, laboring, and postpartum clients using trauma-informed, consent-based, and nervous-system-aware touch.
This certification recognizes practitioners who understand that touch during pregnancy and birth is not only physical, but emotional and neurological—and who are committed to ethical, scope-aware care.
