A Caring Doula

Certified Birth Doula, Black doula, Certified Breast-Feeding Specialist, Certified Lactation Counselor, Hypno-Doula, Fishers-Indianapolis

Sometimes this job is really tough, like when I find myself crying in a public bathroom, tough. Being a doula and advocate is super rewarding, but it is also a lot of work. 
That is why I make time for JOY. like petting these goats. The fun I had two weekends ago holding and petting these goats ( something so out of the norm for me) still makes me smile today. To my doula sisters, make time for joy; it restores balance and helps heal the soul.
June is Pride Month, and if you know anything about me, you know I support all people. I also want everyone to stay informed and safe. Here are some events happening around the city.
Today, I had a wonderful time connecting with fellow birth workers and advocates in the maternal health space.
April showers brought 4 babies in nine days, and now that we are all done celebrating. I am so ready to rest and have some downtime. #stormbabies
This guy was in the windows at my last birth! I wann say turkey vultures up close are cute.
Happy birthday to the woman who is actively making the world a better place one baby at a time. She's changing the world, and I'm so happy to be in her sphere. Thank you for being my mentor and sharing your knowledge. I hope you rest today, and have some fun!
Even the doors at the hospital know we should not be out in this weather!

Being a doula is hard work. I am so glad I have many great small business owners walking alongside me on  this journey.
So excited to spend time with expecting parents tonight, at the Indy Baby Shower.
