A private course with a doula offers a personalized and tailored experience designed to meet your unique needs and wishes for childbirth. It also provides a safe and supportive space to discuss any thoughts, concerns, or fears you may have about giving birth.
Absolutely! There’s always something new to learn. Together, we can focus on your previous birth experiences and build on them, addressing specific areas you’d like to explore further.
Most people take the course between weeks 30 and 36 of pregnancy, but it’s entirely up to you to decide when it feels right!
Of course! You’re more than welcome to take the course. You can also bring another support person who will be with you during the birth, such as a friend, family member, or other birth partner.
The course takes place in the comfort of your own home. This creates a calm, familiar environment where we can prepare you and your support person in the best possible way. Practicing in your own space allows you to use the items and furniture you’ll have access to during early labor or a home birth.
The course lasts about 4-6 hours (depending on wich course you book), including breaks. It can be scheduled on weekdays, weekends, or evenings to suit your schedule.
I offer the course in Gothenburg and surrounding areas, including Trollhättan, Borås, and Varberg.
