"I was in the starting your practice year, and that is exactly what I did- I started my practice! I remember being in class for the first mastermind, feeling really overwhelmed by all the things I would need to set up (contracts, website, business stuff, etc) and it's been really humbling and exciting to see and notice the growth in myself this past year. Over the course of the year I have done a few postpartum jobs and now I have a few births lined up in the fall as well.

Regardless of where you are in your doula journey, you will not regret this! I am so thankful to be part of this community for life and I know for sure I wouldn’t have had the confidence to get started without the gentle push and support of others here."
