The Newly Minted Community Labor and Birth Doula
"Be the change you wish to see in the world." Mahatma Gangdi
In this intense political climate where the future of women's health is uncertain, skilled birth workers are needed on the front lines.
Birth activism is central to the pulse of my mission and training.
On September 2, 2023 I successfully completed the CAPPA Labor Doula Training and enrolled in CAPPA Academy to begin the CAAPA Labor Doula Certification Program. I have 2 years to complete all of the certification requirements and once satisfactorily completed, I will be issued the CAPPA credential CLD (Certified Labor Doula). Wish me luck! In the meantime, I am a Volunteer Dial-A-Doula at University of Michigan Von Voigtlander Women's Hospital in Ann Arbor as well as serving Metro Detroit as a Community Labor and Birth Doula accepting Medicaid Beneficiaries.
