Your Journey to Becoming a Doula Starts Here

Learn how to offer invaluable support during the childbirth journey, backed by our DONA-approved birth doula training program.

What doulas are saying about us!

 Meeting Nikia last year (2018) at the Inaugural Reproductive Justice retreat in the UK was a treat. This year due to travel complications she couldn't be with us in person. Yet she beamed in online to Scotland, UK & showed up 150% even whilst not feeling well & gifted each one of us with fantastic business coaching. Her ability to listen & to turn what she hears into creative branding ideas is nothing short of genius. I'm so grateful.
