Thank you for sharing your story.

All done!

Hi brood families. I'm Emily and I am a full spectrum birth and postpartum doula. I became a doula after being lucky enough to have two really positive and life changing labor and deliveries with both my children. I believe this was only possible with me having the proper kind of care and support that I believe every family is deserving of. I also am really passionate about the fourth trimester of postpartum. I think there's a big window there for families to have more care and support through that really life changing and transitional time. My care style is hands on, compassionate, empathetic. I'm a big believer in breath work, acupressure, and facilitating movement. My expertise would come from me completing the Doula training program at Douglas College. I have a lot of knowledge in feeding, whether it be chest or bottle, and also, of course, my own personal experience raising two little ones full time for the last six years. So yeah, very comfortable with little ones, very comfortable with the birthing world and experience. And I look forward to being a support for many families for years to come.

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.
