Welcome to Nurturing Birth Doula Courses
Nurturing Birth has been training doulas, also known as birth companions, since 2005. Our course is Recognised/Accredited with
Doula UK. Our trainers are all working doulas with many years of experience supporting hundreds of families between them. Thinking of becoming a doula? We have trained hundreds of women across the country, in Europe and the Middle East. We
also offer more advanced courses on birth and breastfeeding as well
as various workshops and study days to enhance our doulas' skills and help them carry on with our quality training.
Courses planned in: London, East Anglia, Hertfordshire, Yorkshire (new), Surrey, West Country, Dubai, Cornwall, Berkshire, Surrey, Edinburgh, Essex, Oxfordshire, Dubai, Wiltshire... click here for details
You may only join Doula UK and enjoy the benefits of its membership if you have attended a Doula UK recognised course.
