Thank you for sharing your story.

All done!

Hi there. My name is Heather. My pronouns. Are she her? And I've been a birth and postpartum doula since 2021 my history, and background. In this work is grounded from my past in Yoga and Wellness, which is what I did before becoming a doula. When I was pregnant with my first, I took a prenatal yoga teacher training, I met a midwife, a pelvic floor specialist, and a doula, and this really opened my eyes and just seeing all the different forms of care in ways that we can support pregnant people.
 From there, after I had my baby and experienced my own birth and postpartum with the support of doula. I realized how important this work is and how much I wanted to help other families through this journey. In this time, I have discovered so much about birth and postpartum and the experiences that we have on this journey. My caregiving style is relaxed and informative. I like for everyone to know as much as possible about their birth experience and really narrow down what they want. So we can
 drive for that Vision while also being well, informed of all the options. So you can make an informed decision through every step of your pregnancy, birth and postpartum experience.
 My expertise is in relaxation and movement and I am so passionate about making sure that partners are involved in my prenatal. Sessions, will invite some movement to help, relax your body and mind while also exploring some techniques and positions to help support you through your labor. This is where the partner support comes in and I'll show them all about how best to support you with different Comfort measures.
 Through your birth, I'll be there to help with Comfort measures and support your partner through them as well as choices and possible. Unexpected decisions need to be made, I'll be there to help keep you informed and to help stay on your birth plan even with anything unexpected.
 And postpartum sessions with me. We'll cover some positions to make sure you're feeding and sleeping comfortably.
 We will also do some very gentle poses to help work out any soreness that might be experienced after birth and the transition to now holding a baby. Thank you for taking the time to check out my video today. This is such a special moment in your life and I would love to support you through this journey by.

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.
