Is There A Doula in You?

A 5-Day Immersive Experience for People Who Want More Than “Just a Job”

At Nurturing Birth, we don’t just train people to attend births.
We support people to build real, sustainable, life-friendly businesses doing work that truly matters.

Most of the people who find us feel a pull towards birth, postnatal work and supporting others - but there’s usually something more underneath that.

A longing for work that feels meaningful
A desire for freedom and flexibility
A need to earn properly without burning out
A sense that you’re capable of more than the box you’re currently in

Some have dreamed about becoming a doula for years.
Others have only just discovered the role, often because someone says, “You’d be amazing at this.”

But alongside the curiosity come the real questions:

Do I need to have had children?

Do I need experience or qualifications?

Can this be a proper income, not just a nice side-hustle?

What does it really take to build a doula business?

How do you support clients without over-giving or burning out?

What does advocacy in the birth room actually look like for a doula?

That’s exactly why we created Is There A Doula in You?

We don't want to sell you a fantasy -
we're here to give you an honest, warts-and-all, behind-the-scenes look at what it really means to build a life and livelihood as a doula.

What This 5-Day Experience Is Really About

Over five days, you won’t just be learning what doulas do.
You’ll be exploring whether this path fits the life you want to build.

We’ll talk about:

The beautiful and gritty realities of doula work

How to support clients with compassion and strong boundaries

The nuances of advocacy - what it really means to stand alongside families in complex systems

How doulas create income, sustainability and confidence

What it’s like to run a values-led, self-employed business

How your doula business can grow and change, just as you do

This is where passion meets real-world practicality.

What You’ll Receive

Over the five days you’ll be supported with:

âś… Daily emails with powerful prompts, reflections and real-life insight
âś… A private Facebook group to connect, share and ask questions
âś… Thought-provoking daily explorations
âś… Live Zoom sessions with experienced Nurturing Birth doulas
✅ A special Nurturing Birth Virtual Cuppa - a taste of our community gathering
âś… A live Q&A where nothing is off-limits

This isn’t about convincing you to become a doula.
It’s about helping you decide - with clarity and honesty - whether this could be your next chapter.

By the End of the Week…

You’ll understand:

What being a doula really involves

What it takes to build a successful, self-employed doula business

How you can work within your own boundaries, with confidence and integrity

Whether this path fits your ambitions, values and lifestyle

“I absolutely loved the Nurturing Birth Doula Course. I felt welcomed, safe and comfortable. I was able to be my raw self and share my experiences with no judgements being passed. I felt a sense of healing as I shared my experiences and self reflections. I’m so glad I followed my heart when I registered for the course. The support before, during and after the course is just what I needed to remind me this is the community I want to be a part of. Thank you!”
