The Course of a Doula

Sometimes I sit back and reflect on the direction my life has taken, and it really amazes me.  In high school, birth was far from my mind.  It wasn’t until I had experienced the birth of my own children that I started understanding the impact that birth can have on a woman, and how I wanted to be a part of that for others.  Now, I am starting a new course in teaching and training, and I find it just as exciting.  So as I start this new year, I make a toast to all my students and fellow doulas out there.  Here’s to a new year full of wonderful tears and laughs and joys.
