I am a doula and practicing with my best friend Jade Souza. Our business is called MotherLove Doula Services. I recently started an apprenticeship with a midwifery practice in Seattle but I still live in Olympia!:) I am transitioning out of working with the Birth Attendants which is a group of volunteer doulas that offer services to pregnant incarcerated women at the Washington Correction Center for Women. However, I am still deeply committed to this work and want to find a way to incorporate it in my future work as a midwife. I needed to leave the group in order to focus on being a midwifery student. I am enrolled in the National Midwifery Institute;however, I have yet to get much work accomplished. This will happen though when the New Year comes and I also nourish myself 3 times daily, exercise regularly, and gets oodles of midwifery school work done! I value honesty, realness, rawness, good communication, authentic people and strive to be all these things. I love running but haven't done enough lately. But I don't think I have faltered badly enough that I wont' be able to make my goal of running a marathon before I am 30.
