my experience of being a doula has shown me that it is a lifetime study of self-in-relation.   part "calling" and part "work-in-progress" with many layers... therefore, i joyously offer the following opportunities to our community:​​
mentoring and case-consultation services:
we can explore what being a perinatal care provider feels like for you, look into where you'd like to go and imagine how to go there. you can confidentially review experiences, be witnessed and receive feedback.
