Why train with me?
As you get started in your doula career, I will encourage you to think about what makes you unique among doulas. Everyone has gifts to share with the world. Here are just some of the things that make me and my postpartum doula training unique:
• As a board certified lactation consultant, I know the complexities of breastfeeding and will prepare you to support breastfeeding families.
• I’m one of Southern California’s most experienced doulas, with 20 successful years supporting families.
• I am also a certified birth doula, which brings a richer perspective to my postpartum trainings, especially as we talk about the relationship between birth and postpartum care.
• People tell me I’m patient, empathetic and funny. I will hold space for your educational growth and we’ll have a great time together.
• I’ve spent time on the DONA International certification committee, so I can mentor you through the certification process and share tips on sending off a complete packet for review and certification.
