Our Distance Course is a combination of our Intensive and Expansive courses spread across five days with a combination of Zoom webinar/meeting sessions and online learning, plus a one-to-one mentoring session – a perfect option if you are wanting to train as a doula but are choosing to self-isolate, are in a locked-down city/country or live far from any of our in-person courses.
What you can expect from the Distance Doula Course:
- 5 consecutive days (3-4 hours per day) spent with two experienced working doula/facilitators looking at the doula role, debriefing experiences and meeting like-minded people on Zoom (an online meeting/webinar platform)
- Opportunities for breakout sessions to complete pair and group work
- Access to an online learning platform with many modules, prepared by trusted and respected specialists, to watch in your own time
- Reflective work to be completed in advance of the five days together
- Preparation for the course – exploring beliefs, feelings and knowledge around pregnancy, birth and the postnatal period. Work to be submitted to the Course Facilitator at least one week before the course start date.
- One-to-one session with your Course Facilitator after the course (via phone or Skype) to discuss your situation, expectations, fears and challenges going forward
- A session with your chosen mentor from the Nurturing Birth mentor team once you have completed your course during which you can reflect on your personal experiences and learning, set goals for the future and have space to be encouraged and nurtured.
- Six months to complete a post-course module
- Nurturing Birth Course Certificate on completion of the course and home study modules to the satisfaction of the Course Facilitator
- Maximum 8 people per group
