Greeting, on my blog aabout doulas, you said you are not DONA ceritfied and you have a job with a hospital? So DONA certification is what? Eveyone makes such a big deal about DONA ceritifcation, do clinets ask for that or will me doula workshop certification be enough? It really is a lot of money! ATTITUDE GYAL

having trouble understanding light breathing

they say it's the hardest breathing pattern to learn. I think they are right do you have any pointers about learning how to do light breathing? ATTITUDE GYAL

Light breathing

My approach is different. I tell my clients to learn how to breathe before birth. Start really breathing now. Most people do not breathe from their nose, filling their stomaches. Then exhaling, contracting their stomaches. I remind my clients to breathe into the contraction. And when it is over exhale. Tensing the body or robbing the body of breathe will cause pain.

hey

loved your book. read all the way through and now pick it up now and then for encouragement. thanks for sharing. it given me courage to push for what my gut says is right. there's been some light shake ups in my household. homeschooling is discussed as an option.
