Families should consider having a doula, because doulas are a doorway to an entire network of perinatal supports.
Please share a story of one of your most memorable experiences as a doula.

I still remember the joy I felt seeing him walking, and knowing that I had been there for his first moments. The sustained feeling of connection to the families I support is one of the best parts of this work.
