Yá’áh’tééh! In this week’s episode, we invited two special guests, Kimberly and Daili who share their experiences with having a Doula present throughout their pregnancy. Their stories included how they found a Doula in their area, who they reached out to, and why they sought Doula services. We want to thank both Kimberly and Daili for sharing their unique journeys about how Doulas helped them be heard and stay in control throughout their pregnancy.
