I found this to be interesting. May it shed some light.

July......
My goodness July has flown by and I have sure been busy! Between family get together's, meeting new clients, clients going into labor, and helping out a few other Doulas I have spent about half the month on maternity wards! I have loved every minute of it.
Helping families be born is such a passion of mine. I believe that every woman should be given the opportunity to be educated on the different ways that babies can enter the world, and decide for themselves how they want to approach this wonderful time in their lives.

Traveling
People often wonder how far are doulas willing to travel? Every doula is different. As for me I am pretty much willing to go from Ogden down to South Salt Lake areas. If you are close to those areas but not in them I am still willing to meet with you to see if that would be a possibility for me to take you on as a client. I hope that this helps to know the areas that I serve.

Emotions of a birth
I can usually keep me emotions in check while attending a birth. Though sometimes I get caught up in the wonderful moment of seeing a family be born. One of my most recent births did this to me. The pure joy that was in the room once baby got earth side, and seeing my clients become parents together.
It is interesting looking back at the births I have attended and recognizing all the emotions going on in the room. It always amazes me that a mental road block can cause labor or progress to stop. I love being able to help moms work through those road blocks and to take in the positive and release the negative. Or that one person in the room can put mom on edge or calm her down.
I believe that maintaining a clam and relaxed environment is a big key to helping mom stay in the zone. Being in tune with her and following her lead on what she needs and wants. It is important to be as constant and continuously changing with what the mother needs. Not a task I take lightly. I want to do the best I can to support the families I am privileged to work for, and make their birth the best it can be.
