And this led my journey into birthwork..
In martial arts, who you have in your corner can make or break you, so I started my search for my birth team. I wanted at least one person that I could trust by my side. So I interviewed doulas, in case I wasn't able to switch providers. I was blessed that I ended up finding my midwives that understood my preferences as an athlete and individual.
At the end of the day, I just needed people that believed in me. After my home birth, I had many women in our community coming to me for support, advice and resources for their pregnancies. I thrived in this space and decided to go through a Doula training to be able to better serve women .
