Is the postnatal doula and education diploma right for you?

Many Postnatal Care Practitioners feel drawn to this line of work, but find that most trainings only touches on the Parents’, instead focusing on the baby. This diploma focuses solely on the parent –both parents! And it’s not about cooking or cleaning either!

Bringing together evidenced based care with spiritual and holistic practices enables you to support your Parents’ as whole person respecting their social and cultural needs, enhancing their emotional and mental wellbeing.  

Perhaps you are curious about creating a career in this field of work but don’t have any prior knowledge or experience? That’s fine – there are no entry requirements or expectations of prior learning.  Or maybe you are seeking ways to expand your business and enhance the support and care you offer your current parents Perhaps you recognise that the brief  section on postnatal topics touched on by childbirth classes is not good enough and you want better for your parents’?

This Diploma will enable you to either start a new career as a Postnatal Doula & Education Specialist or  enhance your current business. This Diploma will set you up as an expert so that you can offer in depth support in a variety of ways.

Forget, connecting with Parents’ for just one weekend, enable a long term, transformational relationship with them instead.

” I really enjoyed and appreciated the in-depth discussion of NLP and techniques related to it, such as anchoring and clinical hypnotherapy, which greatly enhanced my understanding of hypnobirthing.  I also love the practical units/demonstrations when Ruth leads us through the hypnosis sessions – an excellent template for when we are going on to teach hypnobirthing ourselves.
Other positive points I’m taking away from this are the techniques to work through fear (EFT), Thank you, Ruth! “
