Greater Manchester Doulas CIC facilitate a variety of community groups across Manchester and online. They are all free to attend, although donations are always welcomed. Our groups are great opportunities to meet like-minded women in your community, whether you’re coming along for the first time or have been to many.
Women only. A safe space for anyone who is interested in freebirthing. Whether you have had a freebirth or are planning to free birth, you are welcome to share your stories and thoughts with like-minded women.
Wild Women Rising
Women only. The group is so named because we wanted to recreate a little of the magic of red tents, or women’s circles. A safe group for women who maybe don’t feel as though they fit in elsewhere because of their more alternative views and choices. This group is open to mothers, grandmothers, and women without children. This group focuses on bolstering women’s confidence and self-belief. These groups are held once a month on the first Tuesday at the Energise Healthy Living Centre in Salford.
Manchester Birth Workers Circle
Just as we want the women and families of our community to feel confident connected to one another, we want the people working for the same ends to feel supported too. As often as we can, we meet in a child-friendly and accessible location, to share practical information about working in this field, including how to care for ourselves in challenging times. These meets are open to all, including those considering working in the childbearing year, and around infant loss. These are not super regular so keep an eye on our Facebook page to stay up to date!
