Please help me celebrate FIVE new postpartum doulas in Central Iowa! We had a great training and learned a lot from each other. We also enjoyed a two-hour Breastfeeding for Postpartum Doulas Workshop led by Angela Swieter (Applaud Breastfeeding) and a "Business, Boundaries, and Burnout" Lunch and Learn with Shannon Lee (Blessed Births and Beyond).
The next training is June 23-24, 2025 for anyone interested in becoming a BIRTH DOULA! www.theiowababylady.com/labor-doula-trainings.

Happy National Siblings Day!
I`m pretty lucky to have this guy as a brother. I`m even luckier that he has some pretty great kids that call me Aunt Katie! I was pregnant with my second son in this photo and I just loved holding my newest niece on top of my belly. And yes, those are tears in my eyes!
