About Us

We are Emma and Carla - two practicing Doulas based in Shaftesbury. Between us we have supported all kinds of birth and have an enormous passion for supporting our clients to have positive, empowered birth experiences. After spotting a local gap for Antenatal classes, we decided to create our own to both educate local families, and create a space where you can meet other local families due around the same time as you to help you build your 'Village'.

Our passion for informing families to have empowered and positive birthing experiences informs everything we do. Our carefully curated, fully comprehensive course will arm you with all the information you need to get Birth Ready!

​Whether this is your first pregnancy or your fifth, there's always more to learn and always room for self-confidence in birth to grow. On completion of our course, both you and your birth partner will feel confident and empowered as you embark on your birth journey together. You will possess all the key skills and information you could need.

Free on-site parking, wheelchair accessible, accessible toilets, refreshments provided.
