Congratulations on your pregnancy! 

You have made an excellent choice in finding a doula to be with you during this time.  Women who have doulas statistically have shorter labors, require less pain medication, have more success with breastfeeding, have better mother/child bonding, and report higher satisfaction rates regarding their births. 

I would love to be YOUR doula, so if you are interested please contact me so we can set up a time to meet.

Hope to hear from you soon,

Hello again,
     Now that our baby girl is almost one year old, I am ready to truly start building my Labor Doula Business.  Thus far, in my career as a doula, I have not lived any where long enough to establish myself as  Labor Doula.  Hopefully, we will be here in the Denver Area long enough.
     For now, my goals will be small as I get my feet wet.

Week of December 17, 2012
1.  Put an ad on Craigslist (I recognize that this is controversial, however, I have received many inquiries through this method in the past, enough to outweigh the spam that is).

Check in next week to see my craigslist add!

Til then,
Brittany
Labor Doula
