What is Active Birth Institute all about?
Becoming a doula can be the most rewarding of careers! From assisting expectant parents through birth with evidence-based information and an unbiased, non-judgmental approach through pregnancy, the birth process, and the postpartum journey. We provide physical and emotional support through the birth process with education, encouragement and comfort touch. In the postpartum we answer questions, provide reassurance, rest and nourishment for the birth parent, and newborn care.
At ABI we want you to fully understand what our role is, filling the gaps for new families so they may rest in the comfort of our support. Every new and expectant parent is unique and deserves support based on their personal ideals for themselves and their new baby! At ABI you will gain the skills needed to best care for your clients!

Meet the director of ABI
Marcella DeRosa, IBCLC, CPLD, CPPD
Owner of Born With Love Doulas
Hi! I cannot wait to help you on your career path toward becoming a DOULA!
I have been a birth and postpartum doula for 13 years as well as a lactation consultant for the last 2 years. I have learned so much along the way, bringing new knowledge to each client I have. I am a strong believer in all we do, we must keep growing and learning from one another. Our workshops are evidence based, dynamic, and collaborative. I hope you learn so much from me during our time together and I learn from you as well!
