Thank you for sharing your story.

All done!

Hello, my name is row. I used them pronoun. I paid birth and postpartum doula. And on ceded territories of this song He's a slime mold and was indications, also known as Victoria. I wanted to be part of the fourth world for a very long time. Most of my life I plan is actually to be a midwife and then when I was about 17 18 I discovered what a birthday meal was
 I always wanted to be a midwife because I wanted to be a part of the birth World in a holistic connection based way goes to a clinical or medical. Wait so when I discovered that there was this whole other part of birth that really I just got to walk into people's lives and just because person based in connection and empowerment I was just so drawn to that work. So that's why I'm here. It was very lucky.
 To learn from some very very knowledgeable really kind of doulas in my community. So I feel very privileged because I'm still very early in my birth worker ear. I don't have a super set or rigid way of caregiving. I right now, I tried to walk into families homes with a very open and curious mindset and ask a lot of questions and figure out what specific supports that specific.
 Families and people are needing and really just tailor my support to each individual person. I bring a very calm and grounded energy to the birth and postpartum space. I base my practice and connection inclusivity, and evidence-based information to help parents, and families, feel empowered, and confident, in their decisions and their bodies. I'm really looking forward to working with folks.
 In all bodies from all walks of life. I really hope I get to meet some of you and hopefully home some really awesome connections.

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.
