"Kicki’s training was one of the best training courses I have attended (and I have been to many). It was hugely informative, full of education and importantly, it was fun. I have come away with not only a wealth of knowledge on birth, birth choices, pain relief and more, but with a sense of healing from my own traumatic birth and perinatal mental health experience." Rosemary Deans

If you’re on Kicki’s website searching for the doula course, the Universe has brought you here for a reason. She is one of the strongest, ambitious and wise women I have ever met. This course will not only provide you with all the knowledge you need on how to support a woman during pregnancy and childbirth, but will also prepare you to run your own business. Don’t look any further!

Doing Kicki's course was probably the best money I have ever spent. The course covered everything I could have wished for, was well structured, set in a beautiful informal setting, and I enjoyed the intimate atmosphere with a small group of women. Kicki is an amazing doula and teacher, and the course reflects how inspiring she is; she brings out the best in people. I not only feel well prepared to start my path as a doula, but I feel uplifted as a mother and as a woman.

I have recently completed The BirthBliss course with Kicki Hansard and I cannot recommend it highly enough. Kicki facilitates an inspiring, informative and comprehensive overview of the role of a doula, covering both the work of a birth and postnatal doula.   Kicki has a wealth of knowledge and information and able to relate a realm of experiential narratives which enables a warm and personal understanding to the role of doula.  I truly believe this to be the best doula course out there!  Thanks so much Kicki.

Absolutely brilliant course! I felt Kicki was really welcoming, it made me feel warm and more confident. I think this course gives you better understanding of what a doula can do and how fantastic this job is, to support women in the most precious time of women’s life.

Easily the best course I've ever been on. Kicki has a naturally inspiring way of sharing her wealth of experience. You really come away from the week having soaked up her energy & wisdom like a sponge. It would be impossible to regret doing this course, regardless whether you decide to become a doula or not!
