To the doulas, midwives, and birth workers who have recently joined—I’m so glad you’re here.
Many of you are already walking deeply in this work. You’ve held mothers, witnessed birth, carried stories—some beautiful, some heavy. This space isn’t only for learning. It’s also for being nourished. If you’re willing, I’d love to hear:
What brings you here right now?
You might choose one, or share in your own words—
🌿 I’m feeling a bit exhausted and in need of rest
🌿 I’m excited and want to keep growing in this work
🌿 I’m longing for community with other birth workers
🌿 I’m hoping to breathe fresh life into my skills
🌿 I’m looking for a more faith-rooted space for this work
🌿 I’m carrying something from a recent birth
You don’t need to explain fully—just a word or two is enough.
From there, I can gently point you toward what might serve you best.
You’re welcome here—exactly as you are.
— Mary
