Hi, My name is Miriam Wasserlauf. I've been a doula for a little over two years now and I enjoy every second of it. I currently do most of my doula through the volunteer program in Maimonides. Recently, after the birth of my son, I have decided that I would like to continue doing doula work as a volunteer but would like to take it to the professional level as well.
I am avid reader and really enjoy the books by Penny Simkin and am currently in the middle of Inna May Gaskin's newest book. They provide not only beautiful birth stories but alot of solid information which I find helpful to use with my patients
Hope to be hearing from more doulas soon. I think this forum is a great place for doulas to share and exchange information and ideas.
