CLASSES
We have a range of online courses and support services for all your birth & parenting needs; courses to suit every budget. Our VIRTUAL SUPPORTS aim to empower you with the skills to navigate this new journey in the comfort of your own home, at times that suit you. Recordings of our sessions will be available if you cannot make the live workshop.
We offer ONLINE GROUP ANTENATAL CLASSES which allow you to interact with other families and build a network of support as you navigate your pregnancy, birth or postpartum journey. We meet every parent where they are at, if you feel more comfortable joining us with your camera off that is no problem at all. You can ask questions using the “chat box” on zoom.
All our courses and supports are LIVE Zoom sessions and follow up email and text support will be provided as required.
We also offer a limited number of bespoke 1-1 private sessions. We ensure you get the most out of every session. You can connect in with us beforehand : letting us know if there is anything specific that is important to you, or any medical conditions you may have that may influence your care. We can then prepare your bespoke course tailored to your individual needs. These can be a once off session to answer questions or a full antenatal course. Email us info@doulacare.ie for more information on bespoke courses.
