Welcome to Nurturing Birth Doula Courses

Nurturing Birth has been training doulas, also known as birth companions, since 2005. Our trainers are all working doulas with many years of experience supporting hundreds of families between them.

 

 

At Nurturing Birth we believe passionately in the difference a doula can make in helping new families

  
2010 doula courses   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.
