Hi from CT

Hi

I am Rach (a Brit!!) from Fairfield County in CT. I have done the training and am now looking for my certification births. I am actually a trained CBE, with the NCT in the UK and just certified as a Baby First Massage instructor too.
I have three amazing children, one equally amazing hubby and a completely crazy dog

( I know, it's a teddy, but it looks like a dancing dog!!!)

Anyway, I am looking forward to getting stuck in and would love to meet other doulas near me too, I think I am a little on my own here!

Namaste
Rach x

I'm certifying right now as well. I'm married with three children, a dog and a cat. We live in southeast MA, so not too far away from you. I've always thought

looks more like a dog than a cat

a pac man frog is also called a horned frog. They're called pac man because they eat so much!

Mine is a baby, his name is P.C. (prince charming), he's about the size of a .50 cent peice. He'll get quite large and they live a very long time.

Blessings,

Jill

Hi Rach!

You know, you ARE right! That thing IS a dog!

I'm going to have to rename it.

My parents used to live in CT for a brief while, and I am a New Englander at heart. Glad to see you with us and that you've posted an intro. Hope to see you around often!

If you need help with anything, let me know.
