Testimonial for Marissa Hathaway MPH, FSD, Spinning Babies Parent Educator

Taking the full spectrum doula course at The Lemon Grove has been one of the most transformative experiences of my life. I walked in hoping to learn skills, but what I found was so much more, a community, a calling, and a deeper understanding of what it truly means to support someone through life’s most powerful transitions.

The space The Lemon Grove creates is gentle, grounding, and full of intention. Every lesson felt like both a learning opportunity and a moment of personal healing. I felt seen, supported, and encouraged to grow not only as a doula but as a human being. The teachings were rich, inclusive, and rooted in compassion, honoring the full spectrum of reproductive experiences with respect and love.

This course didn’t just give me knowledge, it gave me confidence, connection, and a renewed sense of purpose. I left feeling equipped, empowered, and inspired to serve my community with an open heart.

If you’ve ever felt called to this work or even just curious about it, I cannot recommend The Lemon Grove enough. It’s more than a course; it’s a journey, one that stays with you long after it ends.
