"✨ ELITE STATUS ✨

Presenting my newest and most favorite certificate yet! This piece of paper is a direct representation of the love I have for this career. Working within the postpartum space is a privilege that I do not take for granted. I am especially grateful to a few of my most special clients, as I could not have achieved this without their help.

Labor Doula support often evokes images of bold, visible actions:
➜ Significant position changes
➜ Hands-on support
➜ Vocal guidance
➜ Movement throughout the room to provide comfort.

But there’s another side of doula support that includes quiet, subtle moments that are equally impactful ⬇️

Between the expected physical tasks, there’s an unspoken connection, an unnoticed touch, or a calm presence that can go unnoticed unless you’re truly present. These moments may be subtle, but they hold just as much weight in supporting a laboring person 💚

October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month. May we honor the babies who have left too soon and hold space for the families who carry their memory. Your stories, your babies, and your experiences matter.

If you work in a birth related field it is likely that you will at some point find yourself with a client or patient during loss.

As they mourn is a resource built to prepare birth workers for supporting clients through loss. It is comprised of information, practical approaches, direction for attaining local resources, personal exploration and tangible tools for caring for others as they mourn.

By utilizing this resource you will be adequately equipped to provide professional and compassionate support from the moment a heartbreaking loss occurs.

In-person doula training is a life experience that will stay with you forever 💚

Yes, it is about learning to be a doula (It’s where you learn and practice actual labor and postpartum support!) but the takeaway is so much more.

Over the course of your training the random group of seemingly different individuals actually merge before your very eyes. Ultimately, you evolve into a powerfully bonded unit, committed to supporting others through birth.

You deserve this experience! Join us at an upcoming labor doula training!

Are you ready to turn your compassionate nature into a rewarding an sustainable career?

Postpartum doula support is so much more than caring for newborns. It's about offering emotional support to new parents during a time when it's often needed most. Postpartum parents can easily be overlooked, but postpartum doulas make new parents feel seen, heard, and supported throughout their journey 💚
