This is What a Doula Looks Like

I came across this article via a friend's facebook post linking to it. Its a really interesting article on the misconceptions that doulas are all hippy-dippy weirdos. And, I admit, for a little while, I thought this too until I learned more about the profession.

Check out the article here and then head over to her other site This Is What A Doula Looks Like to take a look at my profile as well as others from all over the world. Very cool! (The gorgeous black and white photo of a beautiful woman and her newborn is my friend and fellow doula, Melanie with her sweet daughter, Marlow.)

I've also joined the Red Deer Doula Association, as I'm hoping to concentrate on clients from Central Alberta. So, watch for my profile to appear on their website soon too!

And please refer anyone you might know to my Belly to Birth website where they can learn more about what a doula is and does as well as get in touch with me.

Thanks again to all of you for your support as I find my way along this fascinating journey!

My friend had a doula for her 1st baby and is now pregnant with her 2nd and plans to use the same one again. She swears by her. I almost wish I was having another baby just so I could experience birth with a doula. I think what you do is amazing.

Hey! Did you know Vanessa is expecting again? In October, I think.
