Thank you for sharing your story.

All done!

Hi, my name is Nikki and I'm a birth and postpartum doula here with brood, I became a doula because I do truly believe that breath is one of the most sacred and life shifting moments. We experience and no one should go through it feeling alone or are on her head or unsupported. I've always been drawn to caregiving but it wasn't up until I had my own baby that I realized how transformative it can be to have someone there just for you. So I want to hold space and
 Mind you how strong and amazing you are and normalize things along the way. I started supporting clients in July 2024 and I fell in love with it right away. I would say that my style is were grounded and intuitive. I'm not there to replace anyone there. To be your steady presence and to bridge the gap between you and medical providers right by your side loser, judgment. And just with a full hearted support
 I bring calm when things are Intense or humor one is welcome and real grounded care. No matter what along with a birth and postpartum support. I also offer birth photography which allows me to capture the beauty on, rawness of your story. In a way that feels very authentic and true to you. I studied Hypno therapy and mindfulness tools as well. And I love helping clients.
 Explore ways to stay connected and Center it during that time whether you want practical tools or emotional support or someone to gently capture. The moment your world changes there for you. Thank you for listening and looking at my bio and I'm looking forward to connecting with you. Bye.

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.
