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!
If you know an amazing doula, send them a message this week or tag them in the comments!

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!
Happy World Doula Week--Day 3!
Have you ever wondered what we do as labor doulas? Here is a little look at what we do to support families in labor! Doulas are professionally trained to offer support in multiple ways and are there to help you with YOUR birth goals.
We have two events this week and would love to have you join us!
