Doula Training Course Content | The BirthBliss Doula Academy

What does each day of the doula course include?

The BirthBliss Academy Doula Course is designed to comprehensively equip you with the essential knowledge and skills needed to excel as a doula. From understanding the intricacies of the doula role to effectively supporting your clients, and establishing your own thriving doula business, our course ensures a systematic and thorough preparation.

Central to our training is the adherence to the principles of trauma-informed care. Aspiring doulas must recognise that trauma has multifaceted impacts - not only physical but also psychological and behavioural. The recognition that every individual’s life experiences shape their responses is vital.

As a doula, your role is to serve as a facilitator who empowers clients through a support system rooted in trust, evidence-based information, and unwavering non-judgmental support. Our course is purposefully structured to instil these values and equip you with the tools necessary to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those you serve.

Take the decisive step towards a fulfilling career by enrolling in The BirthBliss Academy Doula Course. Empower yourself to empower others.
