With Denise & Julia
As 2Doulas we have 14 years of experience supporting families at the time of birth. We have supported both home births and hospitals births, from water births in both locations to planned and emergency Caesarean births. Our varied experience in different scenarios allows us to be able to tailor the birth preparation course to your individual needs.
This 3 hour course is aimed at providing you with all the necessary information, to prepare your mind, your body and your (birth) partner for the birth of your baby.
