Happy World Doula Week--Day 6!
One of the biggest blessings I have in my life is getting to meet LOTS of people who are extremely passionate about making birth, postpartum, and parenthood safer and empowering. Whether we met through a doula training, at a conference, in our local community, or online, HAPPY WORLD DOULA WEEK! I am so thankful to know YOU!

Happy World Doula Week--Day Four!
This one is for anyone who is responsible for caring for others, especially our doulas, who spend so much time caring for expecting and new parents.
There`s a high burnout rate among doulas, especially labor doulas, because of the on-call lifestyle. Making self-care a high priority is so important for doulas. I am thrilled that our doula team has many doulas who have been doing this work for a very long time!
