This is a in depth and high quality Birth Doula College. I am beyond thankful that this is the Birth Doula training that I chose. The knowledge and wisdom that Belle shares is extremely important, pure and true. She teaches in a way that makes it easy and fun to learn (lots of breaks and cacao and time to reflect). I thoroughly enjoyed learning in this environment and I feel confident that I will become a great Birth Doula after taking this training. It's hard to express how amazing it really is in writing. So, if you are at all interested in taking this type of course, look no further!

Belle and the NZ Doula College are a combination of perfection. Beautifully thought out programme that is inclusive and detailed. Hands on experience and mentorship make this programme a perfect educational experience. I look forward to a long relationship with the NZ Doula College as my journey to support women moves into the future.
Thank you Belle

"I recently completed the pregnancy, birth and postpartum massage course with Belle. I have gained so much knowledge from this course. It is very in depth. With my background in midwifery, I know what changes are happening within our body during pregnancy and birth and how important it is for to support the body to release tight muscles to allow the pregnancy and birth to be more easeful. I highly recommend this course for anyone intending to work with women in pregnancy, birth and post partum."

"I had the privilege to participate in two of Belle’s Massage Courses, both of them have been profound and transformative. Belle’s teachings come with depth, powerful and valuable knowledge and techniques that reach very high physical, mental, emotional & energetical levels of positive effect. Her holistic approach allows to gain insight and perspective, revelation and integration. Belle’s caring and nurturing nature offers a safe space, making you feel heard, understood and held. Participating in the pregnancy massage course was a great opportunity to learn relevant skills to support the journey of life creation and receive healing wisdom, with Belles’s sharing around physical, emotional and spiritual support. If this work resonates and you’re looking to learn or up skill, I highly recommend her courses and teachings!"

I had the privilege to attend the pregnancy and massage course, where Belle shares her knowledge of touch and massage to support women through pregnancy, childbirth and postnatally. The teachings take you on a spiritual journey of self discovery which allows you to be completely present while holding space for women during their special time. You will finish this course with the skills required to support women when they invite you into their sacred space.

"I have completed the first block of this course and can't wait for the second in December. Belle and the tutors have an incredible depth of knowledge and world experience. What I have learnt so far has exceeded expectations. I love the teaching style, with lots of hands on experience, the location and the awesome support. I feel like I have made lifelong friends with both the students and tutors. It has also been a very personal healing journey.
I look forward to supporting woman in this most sacred rite of passage.

I did the pregnancy and childbirth massage course with Belle in May 23. it was such a beautiful course where l've learned so much, so much more than I thought.
More than massage, I learned how to support pregnant woman and labour with yoga exercises, nutrition advice, supporting oils, smells and more.
I had the chance to support a childbirth since and it was definitely the highlight of the year for me. To be able to support a woman during labour is a feeling I will always cherish.
I would definitely recommend to learn from the NZ Doula college
