Thank you for sharing your story.

All done!

Hybrid families, thank you for taking the time to listen to my elevator pitch. I would like to First say that I'm located on Coast Salish lands at the Hulkamania speaking people's, I am grateful to be a Uninvited settlor here and I do my part as best I can to raise awareness and advocate for the sexual and reproductive health of all indigenous peoples on this land in their Homeland because I as a
 Descendant of colonized peoples, know the effects of intergenerational, trauma and colonization. Personally, my name is Josephine, Peter, I use she/her pronouns, I am a sexual health educator and a reproductive Spectrum. Doula, I am sort of, I wear many hats, honestly, and I am so glad to be wearing the Doula hat with brood and I'm clip grateful that you were taking this time to get
 No me a little. So I became a doula because I've realized that immigrant families when they come to Canada. Have a different understanding of the Health Care system because it is very different from their homelands. And so as they come here, I started doing health systems navigation since 2013 with my dad who's an immigration consultant so it looked like walking through walking
 And parents through what labor delivery looks like here. Because it's not always the same as back home. So any sort of diaspora or immigrant family is where my heart is with, and my expertise also comes from a violence and Abuse Prevention lens. I am trained in trauma informed practices, but also in violence. Prevention. I worked with salal sexual, violence, support center before I
 positioned into becoming an educator and a doula
 I have studied biology and psychology. So a lot of my practice has come from the research understandings that I have. And after being trained by an OBGYN in Chennai, India, I also have those cultural practices woven into my practice.
 So, I like to put myself in sort of a nutshell by saying for labor and birth, I tend to be a little more of a coach, or a cheerleader and cheer you on or affirm the progress that you are making. I tend to be a strong or steady presence and then for postpartum I am a little more intuitive a little more, see what I see, what needs to be happening and then fill those gaps.
 Soooo. So it's a little bit different for how I do postpartum care again. I am about building, a sustainable practice for all of Parenthood for you because it's not just three months pores, postpartum or the year postpartum, you will be dealing with your child for the rest of your life. So I am about learning your child and building that Bond right away.

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.
