Have you been feeling called to support families through one of life’s most transformative experiences? 🤰🌟

Whether you’re passionate about birth work, or simply curious about the process of becoming a doula, this class is the perfect first step to explore how to begin your journey.

Being a birth doula is a rewarding career – but how does someone start? With a growing demand for personalized support during labor and delivery, many families are seeking knowledgeable, compassionate doulas who can advocate for their needs and guide them through the birth process.

Join Sarah Oldre, Zenith Birth Services, as she talks about what it means to be a doula, how to pick a certifying organization, and practical steps for where to start in our community. Our hope is that this class session helps you discover if becoming a birth doula is the right path for you!

This month, let's slow down - giving thanks for the incredible gift of our natural being. 🌟
