Nurturing Birth facilitators

At Nurturing Birth, our facilitators are at the heart of everything we do. They bring not only their years of experience but also a passion for creating transformative spaces where aspiring doulas can thrive.

Not Teachers, but Facilitators

We don’t call ourselves educators or teachers because we don’t “teach” you to become a one-size-fits-all doula. Instead, we are facilitators - creating a supportive space for you to explore what the role of a doula means and specifically what it means to you.

Doula work is as unique as the people who pursue it. Our aim is to help you uncover your own path, encouraging you to embrace the skills, strengths, and passions that make you who you are. Together, we’ll help you determine how you want to work within this incredible space.

Real Talk: The Highs and Lows of Doula Work

While being a doula is deeply rewarding, it’s not without its challenges. We believe in being realistic about the work we do. It’s not always a bed of roses. There are highs that will lift you up and moments that will test you and push you to grow.

In our courses, we explore the challenges of doula work in depth. From navigating tricky situations to maintaining boundaries and establishing safe practices, we prepare you with practical tools and strategies to overcome these hurdles with confidence.

Building a Successful Doula Business

Passion is essential, but so is paying your bills. That’s why we place a strong emphasis on helping you build a profitable and sustainable doula business. As facilitators we have run our own successful doula businesses and we will share our insights with you.

We’ll explore:

• The power of marketing and networking to grow your client base
• Practical guidance on setting up a self-employed business, including taxes, insurance, and more
• Strategies for balancing purpose and profit, ensuring your business thrives financially while staying true to your values
• Mindset around money and being paid for something you love doing
• Professionalism and boundaries 

…and much more.

The Transformative Power of Facilitators

An inspiring facilitator can have a profound impact on your journey. Our facilitators don’t just share knowledge—they mentor, motivate, and encourage you to become the best version of yourself and embrace your skills. By providing guidance, insight, and encouragement, they help you navigate your unique path with confidence and excitement.

But here’s the beauty of it: the learning isn’t one-sided. We, as facilitators, also grow and reflect through every course we run. Sharing space with passionate people like you keeps our fires burning and reminds us why we love this work so much.

A Shared Journey of Growth

Our courses are about more than gaining skills - they’re about building a community. The connection between facilitators and participants creates a dynamic, collaborative space where everyone learns, grows, and thrives together.
