The BirthBliss Academy

It sounds like a pretty glamorous job, doesn’t it? 

Dashing around to births and being present when tiny, squishy human beings emerge to greet their families! Those are certainly really great benefits to being a doula. It's a big commitment and an amazing job. 

There is something stopping you, though. You are not quite sure you can do the job... Is there a certain something holding you back? Can you put words to the feeling? Or is it just a little niggling that you can’t quite put your finger on? 

You are wise if you are hesitating. I love being a doula and it can be really rewarding, but it is also really hard work. Sometimes you have to stay up all night, even multiple nights in a row occasionally. Sometimes labour doesn’t go as your client had hoped and you have to hold her hand and wipe away her tears, knowing that there isn’t anything you can do about it but be there for them. 

There is your own life on call to consider. Your friends and family know that if they ask me to do something, my answer will often end with “…but I’m on call, so unless I'm at a birth, I'll be there.” It's a job that is unpredictable at best. 

I'm not make these points to stress you out, or really even to deter you from becoming a doula. What I do want you to do is to truly think about what it takes to be a doula, and to ask yourself if you are ready to make that commitment. Is your family? 

Before you plunk down hundreds of pounds to commit to the training, wouldn’t it be great if you could know if the doula profession was a good fit?

That's the reason why I put together this short course so that you can discover if this really is for your by only investing a token amount.

By the way, if you do decide that being a doula is for you, I will give you a the cost of this course to put towards our full Aspiring Doula Course. 

I look forward to seeing you inside the program!
