A bit about Eva:

Eva is a Tutor with the College of Sound Healing, and has been on a path exploring various shamanic, and pagan facets of life for her adult life. Eva has been training in Sacred Drumming and Shamanic Healing practices for seven years, and trained to become a Tutor with the College of Sound Healing. Eva has been a doula for seven years, and a pagan celebrant for five.

Eva is a mum of four children and uses shamanic practices within her own work as a doula. Eva has created this course through her own experiences as Eva found the path had not been yet fully forged for birth keepers in working with the drum and shamanic practices in such a deep way for birth keepers.

And so this course was born...
