Friends!

I am a halfway there for money raised in order to attend the Indigenous Childbirth Educator training in Sault St Marie Michigan next weekend!

Thank you to all my incredible friends, family and those I don’t personally know who have shared and donated. It truly means so much to me.

If you can share or donate I would greatly appreciate it!

Dear friends,

I hope you're doing well! I wanted to share something very special with you all. As many of you know, I am deeply committed to my work as a mother, full-spectrum doula, doula mentor, and a proud Indigenous woman. Since January, I've been working on my Indigenous Childbirth Educator course with the Centre for Indigenous Midwifery. This work is a vital part of reclaiming and honoring my Indigeneity, and I am proud to learn from and work alongside other Indigenous women, midwives, doulas, and Elders.

If you don't know my Great Grandmother, Granny Powder, was an Indigenous Midwife. Every birth I attend, I feel her guiding presence with me. Through my work, I aim to honor her, my family, and all Indigenous people.

I have an amazing opportunity to attend an in-person training in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan from May 31st to June 2nd, which is essential for me to better support Indigenous communities. However, I need some financial assistance to make this happen, covering costs like transportation, accommodation, and food.

If you can, please consider supporting me by donating to my GoFundMe or sharing this post with your network. Every little bit helps, and your support means the world to me.

Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity!

With gratitude,

🌟 Happy World Doula Day! 🌟 Today, we celebrate the remarkable impact doulas have on families worldwide. Today, I’m thrilled to share an exciting dream I’ve been working on!

Recently I have taken over Doula Care London, which through the years has seen many different amazing doulas as owners and a part of the team! My dream from DCL is to focus on CommUnity & Growth for not only doulas but the families we support.

Not just individual practices; I want to focus on building connections and nurturing a vibrant community of doulas in Southwestern Ontario. As we celebrate this day, I’m delighted to share my ambitious plan to transform Doula Care London into a vibrant hub for doulas in our region!

My vision is simple yet profound: to create a central platform where doulas are easily found by those looking for support - where potential clients can effortlessly find the perfect doula match for their unique journey. A place where doulas can find others and gather together, support one another, and thrive together.

This last year has proved to me just how important community and connection really is in the birthworld. If I didn’t have the community support I had this last year the trauma and grief I have experienced would have been to much, I probably wouldn’t have continued to work in this space. Instead, I took my passion for supporting, educating and advocating and have been mentoring other doulas and I hope to create a beautiful community for doulas.

So, on this World Doula Day, I extend a heartfelt invitation to all doulas in to join in this transformative journey. Let’s unite to create a thriving community that uplifts and empowers families throughout their parenthood journey. 💫
