The weeks before birth were filled with anxiety. As a woman, I had spent years absorbing information about birth and knew what I wanted from the experience. For my partner, it was all entirely new territory. The Blossom and Bloom Partner as a Doula course was a game changer for us. It gave us neutral ground, space to laugh, play, and learn to trust each other in the process - without the tension that creeps in when those conversations happen at home. It brought us genuinely closer together. My partner could receive guidance that wasn't coming from me as a demand, and I could express my needs and actually be heard. Going into birth, I felt prepared, confident, and most importantly, like I wouldn't be facing it alone. Highly recommend Harriet and this course to any couple navigating this season together.
