In case you missed it, I’m building a local doula practice from scratch and sharing the whole process as I go – I’m calling it the Summer Doula Business Build. Partly because I want to try it out for real as a side gig in Tucson. And partly because I know how many of our […]

I share a couple of stories with you here; one a birth story, one a surf story but both with great vibes and potential lessons for all of us. It is both very old and new to teach and share by storytelling; it is how wisdom and experience is passed on. I can’t wait to […]
