FACILITATORS
Nicola has been a doula for over 20 years working with Robin Lim and other celebrated birth workers. Nicola is the only Doula UK facilitator who has a Dip Ed in adult education.
Sally’s Doula journey began after the birth of her first child in 2009. Based near Skipton she covers Bradford/Skipton/ Leeds and surrounding areas. She offers antenatal education, birth debrief, birth support and post natal support.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
To nurture confidence in facilitating doula support. At Red Tent doulas, we believe there is a doula for everyone. We believe one of the most important aspects in doulaing is to create a community of support around each doula. This will nourish her drive to walk alongside others, giving her confidence and strength from a wealth of wisdom.
COURSE INFO
After deciding that the Red Tent preparation programme is for you, you will receive your woman-led self-study guide. This is the beginning of your journey. In your home study you will be reading, watching documentaries, completing useful tasks such as meeting local midwives and doulas…
FINAL PROJECTS
Once all the home study elements and workshop requirements are complete, the women who take part submit a final project before a one to one session with their facilitator. Here are some examples of the final pieces of work produced and feedback on the journey. We hope you enjoy them, they are quite incredible.
