Before joining Birthworker, I was at a crossroads. With a deep-rooted desire to become a doula, I explored various doula training programs without finding one that truly resonated with me. My journey took a pause when I became pregnant with my son, opting to delay my decision to pursue doula training. Despite my hesitation, an encounter with one of the free workshops during my pregnancy profoundly impacted my birth experience, empowering me to make informed decisions and prepare for potential outcomes.

After the birth of my son, which was a redeeming experience compared to my first, my desire to become a doula reignited. My son's birth was not only transformative on a personal level but also highlighted the importance of thorough preparation and informed choice, principles I learned from Kyleigh. Despite financial considerations and life changes, encouragement from my husband and a timely opportunity to join the programs convinced me to take the plunge.

My experience within the programs, Birthworker Academy, the Doulapreneur Method, and the Childbirth Educator Training, was transformative. The comprehensive approach provided not only an in-depth understanding of doula work but also essential business training. This holistic education equipped me with the confidence and skills to not just be a doula but to own and operate my business successfully. I found myself particularly impressed with the depth of the Childbirth Educator Training, which allowed me to enrich my services and connect with my clients on a deeper level.

In just a year and a half, I went from an aspiring doula to a professional with 24 clients. I learned how to network and build community, which has positioned me as a key figure in my local birth community. My success is due to the program's ability to foster a supportive environment for growth and collaboration.
