Everyone who WANTS a Doula deserves a Doula

Check out this fabulous Tedx talk httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=szjuwyJPB8A That got me thinking, and then I saw this cool quote from one of the jillion blogs i read,* “Go where I am wanted, not where I am needed” What I take that to mean is that folks NEED very little: food, clothing, shelter. I think my services […]

Name Energy + Your baby + My Grandmother

My girl Lin is naming her baby Pepper. I love that. Name energy is a woo woo term for how certain personalities seem to trend with certain names. And we can do the numerology (or not, if your don’t believe in that kinda thing!). But essentially the application here is that, when picking a baby name, it’s […]
