Birth and Labor Doula: As of July 2019 I’ve completed Traditional Doula and Midwifery Arts’ birth & labor in person Training. I am currently a fully certified doula, completing all of my field and written work. I plan on continuing my education and broadening my knowledge in both traditional and western birth practices.
