Beginning at the Beginning

Happy New Year and welcome!

Last year was a big year for me.  In 2014 I transitioned into a new career as a birth doula.  I learned a lot and grew both personally and professionally.  I had the privilege of supporting 10 families on their birthing journeys and meeting many new colleagues and friends in the birth community. I began last year as a newly trained doula nervously attending my first interview and ended the year as a DONA International certified birth doula with a wide range of experiences gained from the births I attended.  It was an incredible ride and I can't wait to see what's in store for 2015!

And now that we're beginning a brand new year I want to use this space to share my thoughts and perspective as a doula.  I will write about topics I know a little something about - birth, pregnancy, motherhood, doulaing.  And hopefully the result will be enjoyable for both you and me.

Thanks for reading!
