"My time with Buddha Belly as a postpartum doula changed the course of my life. Christie, Julia and their team of extremely qualified and deeply caring doulas ushered me into my life long passion. Every single person on the team is dedicated to continued education and working together to ensure every client at the end of their time walks away feeling rested, prepared and grateful!
The only reason I am no longer with the company is because of a move to Michigan. However, given the choice I would have stayed with the company for the foreseeable future! Each client left a mark on my heart and the reason I was able to do such good work is because of each one of those wonderful ladies! If you are thinking of becoming a doula or hiring Buddha Belly for your family I can promise that you wont regret a moment of that decision! Thank you Christie and team!

DOULA:
Doula began as a Greek word that means “a woman who serves.” The meaning has evolved to become a professional, trained and experienced in childbirth and the postpartum period, who provides physical, emotional and informational support. (And yes, there are “dude-las.”)
