“What you will receive is far beyond what is written on the curriculum the camaraderie with women from all around the world. This is definitely an advanced doula training. I would, I just think that there are so many facets to it, and tools that I have gained that I will walk with for the rest of my life. There are so many relationships that I have now cultivated so many connections, even even to myself work that I have places that I found myself questioning. How can I be a better doula? How can I serve more fully? How can I take care of myself within my practice?”
