Thank you for sharing your story.

All done!

I became a doula because I believe that every mother deserves to feel supported and empowered and truly cared for throughout the birth of postpartum period. Throughout my own experience is becoming a mother. I came to really appreciate how transformative this journey is and how much of a difference having the right support can take. I also realize how important it is to have someone there to remind you to slow down to trust yourself, and simply be present in the experience. When you can
 I wanted to bring together my passion for holistic Wellness motherhood and caring for other families, to feel confident, nurtured and supportive, as they welcome new life.
 My caregiving style is calm, intuitive nurturing and deeply personalized. I believe every birth every mother and every family is unique and their care should definitely reflect that. I approach my work with an open heart without judgment or expectations. Whether that's providing reassurance and Hands-On Comfort during labor, helping families, feel informed, and confident in their choices or simply just creating a peaceful nourishing environment after birth.
 My goal is to meet families, exactly where they are and support them in the way that they need. Most.
 My expertise is rooted in, holistic, nutrition, maternal wellness, and Hands-On birth and postpartum support. I am a certified. Holistic nutritionist, a mother of two. I've also had the privilege of supporting families during the newborn period and being present for birth within my own family. I'm especially passionate about taking a whole person approach to care, supporting mothers physically emotionally and nutritionally. While helping them feel informed empowered and connected.
 To their own instincts and throughout the birth and postpartum stage.

Hello & What's Next

Hi. Lizzie here. We're so glad that you're part of our brood and that there's so many families who are curious to get to know you and a little bit about your story. We're using video in a creative way so families can see you, hear your voice, hear a little bit about your story, and understand if tour a good fit to jive. Jill's going to help you a little bit more with your setup and we're going to share a few questions for you to practice and think about when creating a really short, casual video to share with folks. Thank you so much for your energy and sharing a little bit about.

Getting Set Up

Jill. Here some quick ways to get set up. Grab your phone or your laptop with a video camera in it. Set it up somehow. Maybe you've got a stand or on a stack of books. You're going to find a natural source of light, like a window. Or if you're like me, you have one of those fancy ring lights. And then click record when you're ready. That's it.

You. So you're all ready to record. Your space is lit. You're looking great. Everything is calm and quiet. Now take out a pen and paper or a postit note, and you're going to think about these three prompts that you'll answer in your short video. The first is I became a doula because I became a doula because the the second is my caregiving style is my caregiving style is and the last my expertise is my expertise is we've created these three prompts, so you can share, pieces that you've studied, elements that you like to apply in your care work to families and anything that feels relevant and true to you. Anything that you would share in person. Make sure that you start all the prompts like you would in a conversation. My caregiving style is based on my cancer sign, I am a water sign. Blah, blah, blah. Whatever feels good to you. And our videos are under three minutes, so keep looking at a timer and keep talking and finish when you're ready to go. Good luck.

Thank you & get consent

That's it. You're all done. Thank you so much for submitting that video. It's really going to help our families get to know you a little bit better, more about your caregiving style, and help us set up the right pairings of doulas and families so they get the care that they need. If you have any questions or want any support in any of these things, do it again. Just want to talk it out with one of us. Get in touch with myself, Lizzie or Emma. That thank you.
