"The circle of women around us weave invisible nets of love that carry us when we are weak and sing with us when we are strong"
Having worked as a Doula for over 14 years supporting some of the most marginalised women in society, along with some of the most seemingly privileged i have come to realise that there is one common denominator - loneliness.
As women we need community in order to thrive
We need the wisdom of other women who have been through the very same experiences that are challenging us and have come out of the other side!
We need spaces where we feel safe , seen , respected and heard
We need to know that we are being given information that enables us to make the choices that work for our family - not the ones that make us easy to coerce and mold
We need to be reminded of the wisdom that lives within our bones and of how to reconnect to it at every stage of the journey - from fertility to menopause and beyond
This is the work i do with women everyday , my passion, my soul calling
This is the work i am sharing with other women who feel called to walk this path

How does the training work?
Wildflower Doula training is covered by the same insurance to practice professionally as any of the leading Doula organisations. We have chosen to remain independent so that our Doula's are free to run their businesses without the red tape and censorship that often comes with membership of large organisations
There are no ongoing fees with Wildflower - you pay to train with us and are a member of our supportive community for life . This includes monthly coffee and chat mornings via zoom, regularly updated resources, business support and access to discounted ongoing study opportunities
There is no time limit - take as long as you need to complete your training - you have lifetime access to all training material and practical assessments/case studies can be completed whenever you feel ready
All of your training is self paced, online - there are no face to face sessions (but you are invited to join us monthly via zoom for a catch up with other doulas in our community)
In order to qualify as Wildflower Doula you complete coursework, case studies and guided reading/audiobook assignments. These can be submitted in a format that works for you - this may be via email, post or voice memo....no two people are the same, so you'll always be offered solutions that work around you. If you have any specific barriers to learning just get in touch - we'll work it out together!
You don't need any previous qualifications or experience - we cover everything! You do need a passion for working with women, specifically in holding them during some of the most important moments of their life.
Wildflower Doulas are :
Non judgmental
Inclusive
Compassionate
Honest
Kind
Committed
Open minded
And vitally: they have a sense of humour ...this work will throw everything your way - literally!
In return we offer you a nurturing, open community space where you will find your Village - we wholeheartedly believe that you cannot do this work without it .
Sound like you?
Come and join us - there are no set dates - start whenever you enrol , however please note that once we reach full capacity booking will be closed for a while (we are committed to being a small, independent community and are about fair share, not fat cats!!)
