So yes I have started my Doula Studies and I love it. Right up my alley and I think my clients are really going to appreciate having both the skills of a Doula and Photographer in one person. I have to think about how my time will be spent during the birth and what my priorities will be…but what I have learned so far is, it will all be up to the Parents and what kind of support they are looking for. So I have tried not to busy my mind about those things. It will all work out and the clients that connect with me, will come my way. I look forward to the journey I get to take with them.

This is a short note as I just wanted to mention that in the coming months I will be looking for two couples or single parent to take on to complete my studies. I hope to finish in the next year. To do this, I need to study my toosh off but also sit an exam, submit an assignment and support at least two mothers/couples through birth.

So if you are interested in this opportunity please get in touch.

I am looking to support you through prenatal, birth and postnatal period. It will be a wonderful learning experience for me and hopefully for you too. But please also know this is not my first birth. I have attended 7 births as a photographer, often taking on other roles as demanded. I have developed my knowledge of pregnancy, birth and babies over the last number of years through my own journey and that of those around me. So drop me a line and have a chat…happy to talk. Everyone needs something different from a Doula, if i can help, I certainly will.

Surprisingly a lot of people still do not know what a Doula is…so I will have to explain more in my next post. I love my birth photography, but this will be an exciting addition to what I do.
