Thank you for sharing your story.

All done!

Hello, my name is Trisha and I'd like to take a moment to introduce myself. I became a doula because I have a keen interest in pregnancy and childbirth. I always have, it's always been a real interest in a passion for me. And when I had my own two children about 10 years ago, of course, I got even more interested and got really excited about what this meant for me, as a person, becoming a parent. And that Journey
 And I had great birth experiences actually had two wonderful births but I can honestly look back and think how much I needed an extra layer of support the support that I do law offers so that really motivated me to get him to do it, worked to help families, have a safe and supported and nurtured with experience. So that goes right into my caregiving style. I would describe myself as a
 Worm person who's a real kind of classic nurturer and I bring that into my practice, definitely. But at the same time, I like to read the room and get to know you as a client. And what that means for you. What is, what is, good caregiving for you? Because it differs for everybody for sure, but I get great pep talks and I have a great touch. I have been told
 And a very nurturing way. So, these are all things that I bring to my practice, my expertise is definitely Empowering Families to had to go into birth feeling really positive about the experience, and reducing fear. So feeling more confident, feeling more capable, and feeling excited for this awesome adventure. And of course,
 Course, we all feel nervous, but to also feel that confidence in your body and your ability to do this. So that's what I bring.

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.
