A note from Kaz, founder of Continuum Doulas. September 2026.
Dear all. After a fallow year of reflection, listening and rethinking, I’m really pleased to share that Continuum Doulas is returning in 2027 — independently of Doula UK. Taking that pause gave me the space to step back and really consider what I want Continuum Doulas to be, and what I believe doulas need from their training. For me, that means ethical, evidence-informed education with genuine inclusion, integrity, autonomy, community and support that continues beyond the training itself. It also means bringing the training back home. From 2027, Continuum Doulas will be based in my home, allowing me to create a much more intimate training environment with smaller groups, more individual attention and a stronger sense of community. Being independent also gives me the freedom to do things differently. in 2027 I will be able to offer, three courses a year, smaller training groups, lower course fees and a new in-house mentoring option for continued support after training. I'm really excited about where those decisions have brought us. I can't wait to welcome our next group of Doulas to the family ❤️ 2027 dates are here! See below! As always, we are offering a sliding scale of payment (see new prices) – please see below for details. All fees can be paid in installments. 
🌿 Sliding Scale – The Green Bottle Model
To support equity and accessibility, our course uses a sliding scale. Please choose the tier that best reflects your current financial circumstances. This is a model rooted in community care, that allows everyone to access education. 💚 Community Tier – £500 Reduced from £700 (max two spaces on each course) For those with limited financial resources, where paying full price would create hardship. This might mean you qualify for government assistance (Eligible applicants may be receiving Universal Credit with LCWRA, New Style ESA, or other higher-rate government assistance such as Carer’s Allowance, or Council Tax Reduction) You might live in a lower end rental property and that you don’t have access to savings. You have limited expendable income* Due to abuse of this tier we are now asking for proof of benefits. Community-rate places are limited so we can keep them available over time. Please choose this rate only if the Standard/solidarity tier would prevent you from training this year. You are supported by the community. 💚 Standard Tier – £1,300 reduced from £1500 (early Bird £1100 before Nov 1st 2026) You can meet your basic needs, you might live in a higher end rental property/ have a mortgage and have some expendable income, and this rate feels manageable. You are paying a fair, sustainable price. 💚 Solidarity Tier – £1,600 reduced from £1800 (early Bird £1300 before Nov 1st 2026) You have access to savings, a comfortable income, or generational wealth. You might live in a higher end rental property/ have a mortgage and have a comfortable level expendable income. Paying more helps fund bursaries and reduce barriers for others. You are supporting financial equity. *Examples of Expendable Income:
The tiers have different deposits:
For payment details, please get in touch.
Places can be paid in instalments, as long as the balance is paid 4 weeks before the course starts. Please get in touch to discuss your specific needs. |
Included in the payment for our courses is a delicious vegetarian/vegan light lunch.
It also includes a donation that enables us to offer our free bursary place (one per course). Our bursary place is for a doula from an underrepresented background or community who would otherwise be unable to access the training. This bursary recognises all diverse experiences, including (but not limited to) marginalised communities, such as those affected by race, culture, identity, gender, neurodiversity, disability, ethnicity, or religion. Continuum Doulas are fiercely committed to promoting and encouraging equality, diversity, and inclusivity. We are actively anti-racist. If you would like to join us at one of our Continuum Doula training courses, please get in touch via the contact form below. We don't have accommodation on site, but we can help you find accommodation near by. Frome is accessible from all major cities via bus and rail. Get in Touch! Our courses always sell out, so please don't hesitate to book a chat to see if we are the right doula course for you.
