Op 3 verschillende momenten gedurende de opleiding tot geboorte doula vragen wij aan onze studenten om een (geschreven) evaluatie van de training, zo blijven we altijd open voor feedback en ontwikkeling. Over de jaren heen hebben we, mede hierdoor, een prachtig, uitgebreid en compleet programma ontwikkeld 😍

At 3 different moments during our doula training we ask our students for a (written) evaluation of the training, this way we always remain open for feedback and development. Over the years, partly because of this, we have developed a wonderful, comprehensive and complete programme 😍

Sometimes we say things that are not necessarily the most diplomatic or ‘good for sales’, haha. But then again, it is kinda true, that the format of our doulatraining is a little crazy… you come in with some knowledge about birth (from your own interest /experience and from the required reading materials) and you come out at the other end of the intensive four day Foundation Doula Training, tumbled around and turned upside down. How that looks like is for everyone different. We see it happening time and time again - how the realisation that this role, this job, this calling, is holding a mirror that you cannot escape. The things you know about yourself and the shadow will be felt and seen - in the training and further on when you do your doula work. We believe that this is a good thing: that ongoing reflection on your actions, your believes and habits, is helpful in your growth, not only as a doula, but as a human being. Every birth, every mother, father, parent we meet and support, something is being touched in ourselves that is ready (or not so ready) to be revealed and seen. This is why we say that being a doula is lifelong process, never done learning, never done evolving. And! You’re not alone in this journey, we are right there with you.

Did this get you curious? Join us for our open evening to talk about all things doula on Wednesday 18th June, 19.30-20.45!

Where ever you go, whatever you do, you will always bring yourself. Going through the experience of birth, where the opening of heart, cervix, body and mind takes place, not only a baby will come out. This great opening, no matter how the birth unfolds, brings out what lives within. This may be Intuition, Fear, Trust, Anger, Sadness, Instinct or Strength, or…. In pregnancy be curious and really listen to what calls to you from within. 🌸🌹
