Description
This is a full antenatal education course in a box written by a UKย Doula.
Initially designed for my Doula clients I realised that I really want this information to be accessible to all expectant families as it’s so important and can be a nightmare to filter through the internet to find. So here it is in one place…
You will leave this course with baseline knowledge of so many important subjects and a spring board to do your own research in order to prepare for a positive birth.
What I will not doโฆ
I will NOT promise you a pain free birth (hint: donโt trust the courses that do), I will NOT do all the research for you, I do NOT have all of the answers but I am here to help find them yourself. Because that is what birth preparation should be about: Supporting you to find YOUR OWN WAY!

Resources
Along with all of this information I have built a huge list of resources on my website, including links to articles, videos, books, social media accounts and podcasts. All from trusted evidence based resources.
Community
Join my facebook community group to meet like-minded families working through the course too. Come along to meet new people, ask questions and just read what others have to say.
Accountability
Online learning is fantastic, I really believe so, but one-2-one is next level… So once you have completed this course I encourage you to contact me to book a recap video call where you can ask questions and make sure that you have the information required for you and your individual circumstances.
Or why not book it now, and give yourself a deadline to work to and keep yourself accountable.
I hope you enjoy the course, I would love to hear any feedback that you may have.
