Course Curriculum
Hi, I’m Emily!
I hear you want to know what it's like to be a doula? Well thank you for finding us! When I become a doula almost a decade ago, I wish there was a webinar like this out there. We will talk about the good and the bad. How to get started, and how COVID has effected doula work. After you finish the webinar, you'll hop on a call with me and we will chat more about what your next steps look like.
