We may be a little biased, but doula work is critical to changing the way people experience birth and new parenthood. Aspiring doulas reach out to us often asking how to get started and the answer is........it depends! In this episode of a 3 part series, Eleanor and Alex discuss things to consider before you make the leap into birthwork. There is so much more to this work than holding babies and squeezing hips!

Next episode we'll cover mental health as it pertains to birthwork so please send us any questions you may have to [email protected]

Have you thought about Hypnobirthing? Had a friend who told you all about her blissed out and relaxing birth and you just couldn't believe a word she said?? Well today we are so lucky to have Ms. Angel Whaley from Bask Family Wellness as a guest host and her Hypnobirthing Childbirth Educator LaKiesha Pham here to tell us about how Hypnobirthing is real and not just a bunch of magic and unicorn farts. Angel took LaKiesha's Hypnobirthing class while she was pregnant with her daughter Logan and she had an amazing experience and we are so happy to have them on and hear all about it!
