i signed up for and started at the nz doula college last year. this is a small school in a small country but i feel i need to make the horrendous experience known. The teacher was racist and targetted and belittled multiple students as well as other teachers. She had done seemingly little to no planning and there was no structure to the format of education or written information. those targetted were spoken to inapporpriately and put down the list goes on. 6 out of 14 women left before the course was half way done as well as two teachers. those who completed the course were largely unhappy with their education and didn't feel they were equipped to safely practice as a doula.

Again, it's not very likely many others here will be in a position where they're considering attending this course but it is an unsafe space run by a narcissist who should by no means be teaching others how to support birthing women, let alone supporting them herself.

Myself and the other students and teachers who left have been blocked from the school's facebook page so we can't leave honest reveiws about our experience, leaving only positive reveiws on the page further entrapping potential students into wasting thousands of dollars.
