I’ve been working as a postpartum doula since 2012. These past six years have been an absolute privilege. I have worn and rocked so many babies, changed countless diapers, helped with first baths and dried many, many tears (of the baby and grownup variety). I have tried my best to listen without judgment, to leave […]
Got a question about pregnancy or new parenting you’d rather not ask your friends or family? Two Doulas is here to help!
