"I took ‘Homebirth for Doulas’ from my home state of CA, and even though it was online, CHB managed to create such an inviting, inclusive and intimate environment. I felt as though I was being given these hard-earned nuggets of wisdom (practical and conceptual) that would have taken me years and years of serving families to learn! Entering and holding space in a hospital, is vastly different from doing so in someone’s living space, and I feel infinitely more prepared for the unique challenges a homebirth presents after taking this class. So glad I did it!"
