Our last day of class was a little sad for me. I've had so much fun learning from our amazing mentors and alongside the other women that I didn't want it to stop. Yet, this means I am now ready to move on to the next phase of my "doula development." I will now be focusing on completing my remaining requirements for certification in the Dolphin Method (TM), developing my identity as a doula, and eventually gaining my first few clients. Of course, one minor delay with this next phase will be the birth of my own child!
I feel even more excited this time around because I have the same support network from my first birth including: my amazing husband, my mentor and doula (Jennifer Wolfe), my midwives (Melissa French & Susie Graven), and family & friends. In many ways, the birth of my second daughter will mark my own re-birth as a doula. I am excited and confident that I have found my calling and am following my passion.
I look forward to providing the education, physical and emotional support, and empowerment to pregnant women and their partners during such a pivotal and life-changing event.
