About BirthBliss
When I started BirthBliss back in 2002, I was a doula, providing birth and postnatal doula services. Things really took off and within four years I was also delivering doula training.
The business continued to grow and in 2011, I was immensely proud to release my own range of BirthBliss courses and workshops for existing doulas, as well as those that wanted to train to become a doula.
Six years later, after popular demand, we took our exclusive antenatal programme for pregnant women and their partners online.
With futher online programmes for parents and birth professionals in progress, we are excited to see what lies ahead for the BirthBliss Academy.
