Over the weekend, I had the privilege and pleasure of gaining a whole new role in this wonderful, crazy journey called LIFE. My mom and I went through the transformation into DONA trained doulas. My beyond-amazing husband took our three littles for three full days (oh, and we weaned Luke this weekend too…) allowing me a literal "girls" weekend in Irvine in pursuit of my 20-year midwife plan.
Step 1: Become obsessed with BIRTH. Check.
Step 2: Become a doula. Check.
Although I promised him I would only do what was needed to achieve the credential, I've decided to try running the business from the start --like a business-- and not just a glorified hobby. Hence, the readmittance to the Facebook, the new blog, a business card on the way, and of course, the "grand opening" incentives for potential clients.
Baby Love Birth Services is a solo operation serving the greater Temecula Valley. My grand opening special is service at three qualifying births in exchange for evaluative feedback and some barter/trade compensation which will be negotiated with the pregnant party. (And we know pregnancy is a party!) The first three pregnant families to sign a contract with me will be on a barter basis.
It's an exciting time for me as I anticipate serving pregnant families. Thank you for supporting me in this wonderful work; I envision many beautiful days ahead as a birth doula.
Love, Lauren
