Help Support Kate's Doula training

Hello! My name is Kate and I would love, appreciate and be so grateful for any and all support to fund my passion for working with women preparing for, and while giving birth.

I am a solo (100%) home educating mum of my wonderful children aged 10 and 7. I also work in aged care part time. It has been financially challenging being in this position, living pay to pay, which means that being able to fund training and education to support my passion and dreams has felt beyond my reach. Then a friend suggested this platform!

I have been passionate about birth since I first became pregnant in 2008. I loved learning, reading and watching births. After a dis-empowering experience, I learned the value of emotional support.
My second birth was very long and for most of that time I was alone without support. While this birth was totally different and I felt so much better afterwards, I still wished I had more support.

In 2016, my sister-in-law, knowing my passion, asked me to support her during her pregnancy and birth. I was honored by the privilege and I loved being there with her and for the birth of my nephew.
Later that year, my sister asked me to support her birth and found myself once again having the privilege of attending another birth - this time of my niece.

I started a meditation circle for pregnant women to support their preparation for birth which I have found to be really nourishing and has received wonderful feedback.

There is so much about birth out there - good, bad, ecstatic, scary, empowering, traumatic, powerful, painful. I believe it is such an important time for women and all women should be able to access support for however they choose and do birth.

It would be such an honor and privilege to be a part of such amazing, beautiful and miraculous journey's for those women who choose to work with me.

I appreciate any support that will enable me to follow my passion!

The doula training  is $1850 and begins in February 2019
I would appreciate an extra $350 for my initial insurance to start my journey.

Heal Birth, Heal the World.
In love and gratitude,
Kate
