I was listening to an interview with Deepak Chopra and he said something that really struck me. He said that when you look at all the significant and positive emotions, like compassion, joy, love…the most powerful and profound one to experience is AWE. This is what we feel when seeing a beautiful sunset, this is what we feel when witnessing a birth. This is what makes doulas excited to keep going to births, no matter how tired we may feel or how inconvenient it may seem- we go, we show up, we want to be in the presence of Awe. Where do you experience it???

In last nights meeting of the childbirth preparation class a woman approached me at the end and told me that her sister had taken my class 12 years ago! She now has 4 kids. She raised them all in a concept that she got from the course. It’s called the Next Best Thing. If what you wanted or hoped for in your birth is not feasible for what ever reason, you can choose the next best thing. This allows you to stay connected to yourself and your birth. You wanted a natural birth but 28 hours in you feel the next best thing may be an epidural… you hoped to avoid a csec but the baby is in distress and the next best thing is to give birth now with a csec…you hoped for that epidural but your birth was moving forward quickly so the next best thing is to find your inner grit, let go of the epidural plan and push!
It excited me enormously to hear that this was passed on to the next generation! Do you want to make a difference, one woman at a time? Being a doula gives you that opportunity. And to say it’s fulfilling is an understatement. There’s still time to sign up for next year’s doula training program!

Have you always felt a deep pull toward birth work—like a calling you can’t quite explain?

Many of the women I’ve spoken with who are now doulas say they’ve felt this draw since childhood. It’s more than just interest—it’s like a soul memory, a quiet knowing that they’re meant to support others through the sacred, powerful threshold of birth.

If this speaks to you, you’re not alone—and you might be closer than you think to stepping into your path.

I’ve created a free guide: “7 Things You Must Know Before Choosing to Be a Doula.”
It’s a short, heartfelt resource to help you understand what this path really asks of you—and what it can give in return.

💫 Leave your details below and I’ll send it straight to you. If after reading it, your heart is leaping, we can set up a phone call and see if “Birth As A Journey “ is the doula training for you.

The world of birth is beckoning .
Are you ready to answer the Call?

The doula course is winding down to an end. I am full of gratitude for all the people who came and shared their wisdom. Here is a sample of the guests. I’ve been teaching this course for 8 years and still love feeling like a student when a guest speaker arrives. There’s always what to learn. One of the questions I ask the students who go to births is “what surprised you”? I could definitely answer that question after listening to each guest speaker.

It’s been a crazy year in so many different ways…but women having babies stays constant. It is inspiring and uplifting. If you have been hearing the call to be part of the world of birth, now is the time to take the very first step. I am interviewing women who are interested in joining me for the journey of a lifetime. Next fall, we start again.

This week in the Doula Training, Homebirth midwife Barbara Ben Ami came to teach about how to catch a baby… just in case you the doula are with the mom before she gets to the hospital. Doulas are not nurses and have no medical training, but if needed, they should have the skills to catch a baby. #

Lots of baby dolls came to the doula course this week ! Adina Kopinsky brought them as teaching prompts to show different breastfeeding holds. One big take away was that skin to skin is first and foremost a way to regulate the baby’s nervous system, and a calm baby feeds better. Interesting fact: not wiping down the baby’s hands immediately after birth will help with breastfeeding! When they smell the amniotic fluid on their hands it helps them find the breast because the breast secretes a smell just like amniotic fluid!

Touch begins at birth. Skin to skin contact at birth is fortunately part of the protocol in births. It calms the baby’s and mother’s nervous system. It releases oxytocin, the live hormone. It’s crucial for our survival, quite literally. And touch us a tool doulas bring to birth.

יוגה לנשים בהריון … אז לא נפגש בים אבל כן תוכלי להרגיש שיש לך אוויר ! מה צריך לעשות? להחליט שאת שווה את זה ופשוט להגיע. לא משנה באיזה שלב את כרגע, לא משנה אם אין לך נסיון. תבואי, תנסי, תביני…

Always a pleasure to host Anna King in the Doula Training. She has enormous experience and knowledge in helping women go for their VBAC and she generously shared this with us. Fortunately these days women have a real good chance of having a VBAC and studies have shown that having a doula increases the chances. Want to support women in this journey? Come hear about the doula training. For more details, PM me.
