I was first drawn to this work after giving birth to my first son in 1999, where I realized the importance of emotional support right from the start. Over the following 9 years, I assisted at a pre-school, working with children ages 2-5 years of age. I learned so much from monthly education classes which entailed listening to and learning from experts on topics about children’s development, well-being, and growth. From my time there, I discovered the necessity of nurturing both parent and child, bringing me to train with DONA International. I became a postpartum doula because I feel passionate about nonjudgmental support and care for families after childbirth. The first few weeks following the birth of a child can be an exciting but overwhelming time for new parents.
I take great joy in watching parents become confident in their new role! It’s an honor to be a part of such a special time in a family’s life!
