Description:

“I want to be a doula or a midwife, but I haven’t had kids yet. Does it matter?”

Join me as I share my personal journey through different stages of life while working in the birth field. From pre-baby days to experiencing miscarriages, and the joys of having full-term babies in 2014 and 2019, I offer my insights and advice.

If you’re hesitant to listen, let me assure you that if your heart and soul are beckoning you toward birth work, now is the perfect time to start—regardless of whether you’ve had children of your own yet. Don’t miss out on this enlightening discussion that can ignite your passion and propel you into the world of doula training and midwifery training.
