a quote....

that inspired my passion and love, for doula-ing...

"I've heard doulas described as sherpas in birth. When you're in a foreign country, you need a guide who speaks the language, understands the local customs, and helps you get where you want to go. So it is in labor, we need guides who know the crazy, (seemingly foreign) hospital system and can help women navigate toward where they want to be as they become new moms."
