This made my day!

Today was my second of three visits for one of my postpartum clients.
As I was leaving I said, "just let me know when you want to schedule your last visit". She said, well, I'm hoping it won't be my last. I was like, "oh?". She said she's told everyone she wants more doula visits for Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think that made my year! She was a little hesitant my first visit, she had been given 3 visits as a gift and she had no clue what a postpartum doula was. Now, she's thinking of becoming one herself.

Cool That is very cool

Don't you love when that lightbulb goes on and moms truly understand how valuable you are? Congratulations.

I highly recommend that all doulas have gift certificates that they can make up for situations like yours when people want to get a doula gift for a mom. I just had a group of women go in on a certificate for a baby shower and they purchased 16 hours of my services. Woohoo! It's also a mom I know so I'm going to really enjoy working with her.

Your message put a smile on my face.
