“I don’t think words can describe how glad I am that I did this course! I have felt supported, loved, welcomed and totally at home from the first moment. You are both wonderful women and I dearly hope that I shall see you both again soon. Anyone who is considering doulaing but has concerns should do this course!”Caz x
“Thank you, Maddie, for providing the opportunity to see things from a more gentle yet empowering perspective. This course got me thinking about so many important issues and in such a supportive and loving environment. The example you set, through your patience, presentation and teaching is outstanding. Not only would I say to anybody who was in doubt, ‘Do this course!’, but I’d also have another baby just to have you as my doula… But seriously, I’m not sure where the doulaing will take me, but having had three sons - who knows; maybe I’ll get asked to be a doula for a daughter-in-law one day and if not, be a more gentle and supportive mother-in-law! This course will help me get there! Thank you – you helped open my eyes.Caroline (also expressed as:I wanna be like you-oo-oo (shoo-be-de-doo)A girl like me-ee-eeHas learned to do, dou-la-la-ing too”)

“…I didn’t think it was possible to take in so much information in such a short amount of time. The course has been very enjoyable and very, very informative and I couldn’t help but think so many times during the course that ‘I want to be a doula just like you’…”

“Linda and Maddie, It’s very difficult to put into words how I was feeling prior to this weekend and how I feel now! You are both so warm & welcoming, informative and caring. There is lots to take in and digest but in a wonderful fashion. Thank you for a fab time & helping me to understand myself and the actions I take and impact on others. I’m looking forward to the journey, even if a little daunting! ”
Lots of love Casey x
“I just wanted to say thank you to Linda & Maddie for running such a wonderful and informative course. I was worried that coming from a midwifery background that I would find it hard to adjust to the ‘Doula way of thinking’ but you made me feel so welcome. Your course is both comprehensive and thought provoking and will set anyone, from any walk of life regardless of their experience on a lifelong learning journey.”
