anyone decluttering any books that might help me with the doula stuff?

[Korwynne]

figured I'd ask here

[juliebelle]

are you getting your doula training? i hadn't heard...

[Korwynne]

yep A bunch of us (Ashley, Jo, Kristarae, Lisa/BloominglikeWinter, can't remember who else) are doing it through Birth Arts International - distance learning, then you have some you have to do locally to be certified. I'm babysitting for a girl from Lindsey's school and her mom asked me if I'd attend her birth this summer Wishing I was still local to your mom's group though!

[juliebelle]

congratulations! good luck!
