What's The Taproot Doula Project about?
The Taproot Doula Project is a multimedia social platform I've hosted since 2004. I am a high-risk L&D nurse, doula, parent and author of the book How to Take Care - https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/709048/how-to-take-care-by-erin-williams-and-kate-novotny/.
Experiencing parenthood myself and working as a nurse and birth/postpartum doula for the past 15 years, I saw a need for a radical reimagining of how we support childbearing people and new parents. I wish to create community where parents, their caregivers and birth workers can heal, change and grow.
I often say #yournurselovesyou, because that is the guiding message behind all my work.
