Doulas4dads
Are you interested in supporting women through their pregnancy journeys?
I love to educate people on what I do and the correct way to do it.
This can include guidance surrounding certification, assistance with finding mandatory births, and shadowing.
A large goal as a birth doula is to make sure moms are supported. For that to happen, dads need to be supported and taken care of as well.
My husband Zac and I have decided to make an additional option for clients when creating their package.
We would like to offer dads the time and space with another educated father to ask questions and understand the role they will have during delivery and postpartum.
This can be a private meeting or attached to a prenatal visit. We want to give dads the space to feel comfortable and confident in their new role.
