off to school again?

Have been a touch pre-occupied since we've been back from the beach.. I have signed up for my Optimum Birth Course to become a qualified doula!
Doula? you say??
yes a doula - a independently hired birth support person.
I am passionate about birth and the spirituality of it. I had 2 very ordinary "hospital run" births and then one very magical birth on MY terms. I birthed my beautiful boy - nobody told me how to do it. I had a doula and she was a plethora of knowledge and support. I would under no circumstances birth again without a doula, and specifically Michelle


I will be naming my doula business none other than
Birth with Soul
what do you reckon?

It's perfect, A - I am so proud of you for continuing to follow your own passions, and find things that define you as you, and not simply as a wife or mother (not that those aren't enough)...

Love you,
Ju

I think we need a Doula who calls her business Birth With Soul here in the states! Can you hurry up so you could help Roneita?? :)
