Hannah's training was comprehensive, hands on, and in depth. I liked that she did a lot of background Journaling to get us thinking about the goals for our business as well as doula skill practice. It was helpful to have multiple doulas visit during the training to help with questions and hands on practice. Plus, she made it feel fun and comfortable and it was set up over two weekends so it wasn't a lot crammed into a full week. I felt well prepared all around as a doula especially with a lot of support from her on the end of starting up my business.
