Journey to Becoming a Doula

A Doula’s Birth Story

On this episode I share my birth story. My baby girl is now 6 months old and I have processed her birth, sat on it, and realized how truly amazing it was to not share it. Being a Doula was helpful even if I couldn’t Doula myself during labor. I had the best support system, the best providers, and the best baby at the end of it all.
