Please enjoy this conversation with my doula and close friend, Meryl Seward. We detail her journey to becoming a doula, what drew her to birthwork and what all of it even means - to us. You can find Meryl at https://www.instagram.com/merylthedoula/. If you have any questions, as always, you can reach out to me. If it's doula related, I can be reached at lilyflowersdoulacare@gmail.com or https://www.instagram.com/lilyflowersdoulacare/.

We are both getting our certification through Cornerstone Doula Trainings. Our opinions expressed in this episode are just that - our own opinions. Certification is not necessary in some states, but it is something that felt important to me. It should not be a gatekeeping tactic to keep people from doula support though! Note: we say it in the podcast, but it's nice to have it in writing... Doula care is non medical support.
