This is what we love to see.

Gergia started the Full Spectrum Training in April this year:

“I’m coming to the end of my doula training with The OBC and with their wonderful support throughout, I have my business set up, and already have my first couple of clients lined up who I’ll be supporting very soon”

Our next cohort starts this month, this could be you in April 2027!

£2,900 isn’t an impulse purchase.

It’s an investment that deserves thought, questions and probably a few conversations with the people around you and I don’t want to convince you that £2,900 isn’t a lot of money.

I want you to feel completely confident about what you’re investing in, who you’re learning from and what you’ll walk away with.

Course investment: 10 monthly payments x ÂŁ290

There will probably never be a moment where spending thousands of pounds on yourself feels completely comfortable.

But if becoming a doula is something you keep coming back to, perhaps the question isn’t just “Can I justify spending this?”

It’s also:

“How will I feel if I’m still thinking about doing this a year from now?”

"How quickly can I make that back working as a doula?"

If you’re seriously considering becoming a doula but the investment is the thing making you hesitate, come and talk to me.

Just an honest conversation about the training, payment options and whether now is the right time for you.

There’s a much bigger reason behind OBC than training people to become doulas.

For me, this has never just been about running a course. It’s about what happens after that course.

It’s about another doula going out into their community with the knowledge, confidence and support to advocate for someone when they need it. It’s about another family having someone in their corner.

I’ve seen the difference that kind of support can make during pregnancy, birth and beyond.

Every doula we train has the potential to support hundreds of people throughout their career.

That’s why I care so deeply about how we train them. I don’t want to simply send more doulas out into the world. I want to send out doulas who feel informed, supported and genuinely prepared for the responsibility of being invited into somebody’s birth space.

Because the bigger OBC becomes, the bigger the ripple effect becomes too.

More doulas -> More communities with access to support. -> More families feeling informed, heard and held. -> More people knowing they don’t have to navigate birth feeling alone.

That’s my why.

If something about that makes you think, “I want to be part of that”, maybe this work has been calling you for a reason. DM me or find our Full Spectrum Doula Training through the link in bio.

We hear this so often from doulas who train with us.

Not that they chose the wrong course or that becoming a doula wasn’t what they expected, but that they wish they’d done it sooner.

One of my students came to me after two years of “maybe one day.”

Two years of waiting to feel ready.
Two years of wondering whether she was really the right person for this work.
Two years of putting off something that kept calling her back.

Eventually, she stopped waiting and she trained with us.

She’s now supporting families in her local community, doing work she loves.

And when we spoke recently, she said: “I can’t believe I waited so long.”

She is not the only doula we’ve heard that from, sometimes the thing holding you back isn’t that becoming a doula isn’t right for you, it’s believing there will suddenly be a day when you feel 100% ready to begin.

If becoming a doula is something you keep coming back to, maybe the question isn’t “Am I ready yet?”

Our next Full Spectrum Doula Training begins in October.

If “maybe one day” has been sitting in your head for long enough, join our last Doula connections session tonight at 8pm. Link to join is in the bio.
