My current continuing education is an online course called Working With Preemies. I love all of the science and practical tips @thegrandparentdoula shares with us so we can better support our local families!

If you`re a newborn professional, I highly recommend any of Kimberly`s courses.

If you`re a grandparent to be, I highly recommend any class from The Grandparent Doula too! ...
