Hello Doula Friends,

I am a doula and mama of 4 living in Massachusetts. I have loved birth and had a desire to be a birth worker in some form for over a decade now. Last year I began taking steps to achieve that goal. I was trained as a birth doula and have now completed 4 births and pretty much all steps toward DONA certification, just need to complete that pesky paperwork

I am excited to really get rolling with my doula business and found this site when searching for ways to get my name out to those who may be looking for a doula. I am excited to find that this is also a great place for to find the support and sisterhood that is needed as a doula.

Can't wait to get to know you all!
Tamar
