"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

Doula Training Course: Dates and Venues 2021

Here are the dates and venues for the BirthBliss Doula Course. At some of the venues we can offer accommodation, so please let us know if this is something you might be interested in. The courses are facilitated in a relaxed and supportive environment, usually in a private house, so that optimal learning can take place. The courses are often fully booked so please book early to avoid disappointment. 
Due to the uncertainties at the current moment, if you book on an in-person course and government guidelines change, or we go into another lock-down, the course will become a virtual course.

​If you prefer an in-person course, you will be able to move to another course in the future or a get a full refund.

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!
