Nurturing Birth has been training doulas, also known as birth companions, for the past nine years. Our trainers are all working doulas with many years of experience supporting hundreds of families between them. Besides attending our amazing 3-day Nurturing Birth Doula Course our doulas are also supported/mentored personally and are able to join our dynamic online forum. The "training" of our doulas does not end after the 3 days, the support our doulas need is always available to them from our team of trainers. Our course is also availabe in the Middle East.

Our course is Recognised/Accredited with
Doula UK. You may only join Doula UK and enjoy the benefits of its membership if you have attended a Doula UK recognised course. Whilst mostly UK based, we have many of our doulas working around the world.
We also recommend KEE to Birth training for birth preparation classes. An alternative to other "antenatal education" or "childbirth education" courses. It's not about educating but much more about preparing couples. Find out more here.
