[ozmidwifery] Looking for a mentor

[Abby and Toby]

Hi,   I have posted to this list a few times, not very often, but I always enjoy the discussions, articles and wisdom of the women here.   Last year I travelled to QLD to study with Chris Vose, from Optimum Birth, to become a doula. I have attended one birth since then, which was my sisters birth, at a private hospital and was completely traumatised.   I have one little daughter who was born by C-section after a terrible labor experience. Thus, igniting my passion for women and birth.   At the moment I am really wanting to gain some experience as a doula and would love to work with someone as my mentor. I understand that some women may only want their doula with them but I am hoping that there is an experienced doula out there whos clients would love an extra pair of willing hands.   I live in the Blue Mountains, NSW and am prepared to travel around Sydney, to Lithgow etc. I am available for about one birth a month at present, plus prenatal visits.   If anyone lives in Sydney or Blue Mountains or anywhere inbetween or around who is willing to take me on as their apprentice, so to speak, I would love to come and learn and support women with you.   Please contact me [EMAIL PROTECTED] 4758 7429.   Thanks so much Love Abby (P.S. Natalie...hint hint! LOL!)
