Ten (and 9 years later), as a Doula you really never know the impact your support may have on a client/person, often you don't cross paths again or you remain very well connected with them - then you receive an email
Subject: Random Thank you

"Hello Rena',
You were my doula for both of my pregnancies (3/14/12 was M # # and 11/5/13 was M # # ). I don't think I ever fully expressed my appreciation. Looking back now, I see how much of an impact you had on me personally because you opened my eyes on BIG ways to take control of MY body. You introduced me to reiki energy, hypnobirthing, and trusting my intuition. It was truly a paradigm shift for me. Becoming a mother broke me in such a beautiful way. For the first time in my life, I felt like I was learning to take control of my body with my pregnancies and learning from you. After I became a mom, I quit my corporate job, started working part time for my husband's job, and started diving into kundalini yoga and meditation. I'm a kundalini yoga teacher now.

P.S. You have a GIFT of sharing such empowering information to women... Thank you for planting the seed of curiosity within me to explore the world of the self-healing arts and inspiring me. It has had tremendous trickle-down effects years later...😘 "

DOULA HEART EXPLODES and the gratitude I still have for this work is so strong and renewed (Thank you for allowing me this humble opportunity)!

Beautiful uninterrupted cord, baby still attached, pulsating, exchange of blood and oxygen…
