The Pefect Question

Many times you find yourself getting asked what do you do for a living? What did you go to school for? What have you been doing the past 10 years? Did you get that job you always wanted? Why do you like what you do?

Well I have been asked this several times over the past week or so since I joined Facebook. I find it an interesting site, as it is a virtual/modern savy class reunion.

Anywho, I was asked on a yahoo group that I am apart of, "What is at the root of your love of birth?", basically why did you get involved with the birth profession that you have chosen.

Here was my reply:
"Seeing women be a part of such an amazing act. What a privelage to be apart of such a wonderful thing, creation........and just to wittness how wonderfully made we are as humans, as women, is absolutely beautiful. Nine months, (give or take a little), we are able to nurture a seed that blooms into such a wonderful tiny being. To be that close to God's perfectionate hand, to be his vessel for such........leaves me speechless every time! And seeing the satisfaction, the empowerment, the confidence, the courage that each woman displays during this time is amazing.

Not only pregnancy and birth that I admire, but the love that a mother has, whether she birthed the baby or not, is very special. To see them lock eyes, to love, to touch, to bond is just heart melting. We are special ladies........there is no other like us!"

I truly do love being a Doula and Childbirth Educator! Who knows.......overtime this love may develope into becoming a Midwife?!

A New Business Name

Well, I have been out of the Doula business since August of this year. I took some time off to have my baby girl I have raved about. While taking this time off from the hands on work of Doulaing, I have decided to research, study, meditate, re-create, and revitalize my personal business. I plan on getting a solid start back in January 09 of what I will consider to be an awesome, rewarding career. The first of many changes to the once called, "Natural Beginnings", is now being called, "Labor's Little Helper"-Doula and Childbirth Education Services.
Now that I am a Certified Doula and Childbirth Educator, I have many ideas and service options to choose from. I am excited and hope and pray that I am successful!
