Doula Course Curriculum

Foundational Modules

Discover the roots of birthkeeping and how the Wise Woman Approach can guide you as you lay your birthkeeper roots in prenatal support and undisturbed birth. Explore your own conditioning and stories around pregnancy and birth, ready to work with clients that you truly align with to create your own authentic doula practice.

Prenatal Modules

You'll learn how to guide clients through deep inner work using my signature pregnancy journal, so they can claim their birth. You’ll explore holistic self care in pregnancy from nourishment to rest and conscious connection with baby, to deepen instinct and intuition. Plus understand how to navigate the medical model of prenatal care with your clients.

Birth Modules

Physiological birth requires us to understand the processes, demystify the journey of undisturbed labour and birth of the baby, the placenta and the mother or birthing person. And then know how we can be a presence that protects it, not disturb it. We dive into all aspects of birth - undisturbed, physiological AND how to optimise physiology when labour evolves differently.

Student Reviews

  • I am loving it. It is everything I hoped it would be. I really enjoy the balance between information/ explanation, reflective questions, video content & resource materials.

    Zara F

  • Evony is such a beautiful soul that teaches from a deep well of experience and love inside of her . With this program she fostered a feeling of community, of respect for each other and deep honouring of childbirth as a rite of passage.

    Micheline , Birthkeeper.

  • Evony is a true wise woman, she is a wealth of knowledge and experience and her way of working and understanding birth resonates so well with what feels natural and right to me. I found the course really engaging both as becoming more educated and informed, but also as a personal journey sharing and witnessing with the other students.

    Sophie Jenna, Mother and Birth Artist

  • it is a gentle and safe space in which to discover more about yourself and also be amongst like minds under the guiding light of Evony whose knowledge is so valuable. The content is vast..

    Caroline, Birthkeeper

  • I found your holding, Evony, and guidance just invaluable. I loved the way you took on board all of our different paths and strengths, and your course was never, ever prescriptive. You gave us all space to simply be and explore ourselves, and to learn from each other. And the wealth of resources are there for whenever we felt called or ready to explore them.

    Leonie, Doula
