Glad no one has laid eggs (yet) 😂

It's World Doula Week, and we're celebrating RiAnna!

RiAnna is our Mitchell area doula (she's in Ethan, SD!). The Transitions Team appreciates her wit and her outside-the-box thinking. She's passionate about providing support to her community, and that shows in her work with the maternity closet non-profit!

Her clients love that she is a strong advocate for every individual's best birth.

Happy World Doula Week, RiAnna!
