Hi all! I've been really meaning to blog and give you all some updates but I've been busy with so much stuff both personal and professionally. I've started back to a regular 9 to 5 position with a nice company that combine my slight medical knowledge with customer service and sales. I've also, as you know, written a full spectrum handbook for doulas as well as starting an online store to showcase and sell my crafts. I've been working on marketing the full spectrum side of my doula business and attempting to work with my local woman's clinic and Planned Parenthood. I've been trying to normalize abortion and miscarriage and reduce the stigma associated with it.
Often times it doesn't feel like its enough and I don't know how I'll reach a large group of people. That's what I'm still struggling with. Even volunteering to gain experience has been hard. It upsets me and makes me sad that I can't help people and provide care and support the way I know they need it. So if anyone knows of any new ways to market my full spectrum business please contact me.
I plan on attending my postpartum doula training in October and once I'm certified and I can start accepting clients and helping women, children and families.
The good part is that I'm finding ways to educate others about what a doula does and how she can help before, after and during labor.
