The Doula Course
Everything you need create your fulfilling and sustainable doula business, because the world needs more people like YOU! (scroll down for dates and venues)
At Nurturing Birth, we are a team of warm and supportive doulas who pour our hearts into creating a safe and welcoming space for everyone who joins us. Just as we nurture the families we support, we’ll nurture you too—guiding, encouraging, and holding you as you embark on this incredible journey. Together, we’ll definitely laugh, we’ll probably cry, and we’ll always celebrate your growth, every step of the way. From the moment you connect with us, you’ll feel like part of the Nurturing Birth family, surrounded by people who truly care and want to see you thrive.
What you can expect when you sign up to one of our Doula Courses:
- Four transformative training days (or five evenings) led by experienced doulas, offering an in-depth exploration of every aspect of the doula role—delivered online (via Zoom) or in welcoming venues across various locations. Kick your shoes off and make yourself comfy.
- Lifetime access to our comprehensive online portal, featuring pre- and post-training modules, additional learning materials, our detailed manual, and the innovative "resource board" to support you at every stage of your journey.
- A tailored mentoring journey, including 3 mentoring sessions (60–90 minutes) with your chosen Nurturing Birth mentor, designed to help you reflect on your experiences, set meaningful goals, and receive ongoing encouragement and guidance.
- Coursework support designed with you in mind, offering flexibility for all learning styles and guidance from our dedicated coursework facilitator. Your learning journey is designed to help you feel confident and prepared every step of the way.
- Three months to complete your coursework and post-course modules, including reflective exercises, research, and business preparation. While we provide this timeframe for structure, we offer flexibility around personal circumstances to ensure your success.
- One-to-one session with your facilitator after training to review your coursework, create a personalised action plan, and map out your next steps as a doula.
- Nurturing Birth Certification awarded upon successful completion of the course and home study modules, celebrating your achievement and marking your readiness to step confidently into your new career. Our certification is recognised by Doula UK
- Ongoing business and community support, including access to our weekly Zoom "Virtual Cuppa," a private Facebook group for peer connection, and optional continued mentoring to help you grow and thrive as a doula.
