Having lots of fun talking pregnancy and childbirth this weekend!
The Birth Well Partners Doula Workshop is well underway. It is day two and we are having an awesome time. The prospective doulas are bonding and sharing their stories. There is a real sense of comradery, and the information is awesome!!! We go from laughing to wiping tears as we share and learn together.
Thank you Dalia, Susan and Rayna, you are the best. I appreciate the sacrifices you have made to make this high quality training available.

Thank you for providing doula training! I am really enjoying all the information and sharing of birthstories 🙂
This weekend has been a fabulous experience of new found knowledge and new found sisters… =)
Thank You for providing this workshop! I am having a blast learning, sharing, and spending time with a truly incredible group of ladies.
Peace, love and many blessings to all of the NEW doulas, trainers (Marlo and Lisi) and Dalia and Susan. I just wanted to express my extreme gratitude, appreciation and awe at the knowledge, power, intuitive wisdom and joy that was shared during my weekend training as a 2012 volunteer doula. I learned a lot about the birth process as it relates to the majority of women’s birthing journey. I also learned a lot about my own personal views and as it relates to others’ birthing journey. As someone who had (what I like to call) an intuitive birth (allowing my body and intuition to work together to bring my baby into the world), along with the support, love and encouragement from my husband, mother (& MIL) and midwives…I was blown away by many of my other doula sisters’ birth stories of surrendering to what they hadn’t planned for (most were polar opposite of their original birth plan.) It further confirmed how powerful, amazing and INTUITIVE ALL OUR births are.
I look forward to being apart of many other intuitive births.
Thank to all who shared their experiences, stories and tears!!!
