I became a doula because I genuinely want to offer the support I wished I had during my own pregnancies. I see myself as a 'Compassionate General' at births, bringing knowledge, patience, and warmth to every experience.<br><br>I have a special passion for supporting disabled parents who are currently pregnant or considering starting their journey. I want to be a source of encouragement, guidance, and advocacy for you, especially within the sometimes overwhelming hospital environment. Pregnancy is a beautiful yet challenging time, and I\u2019m here to ask: How can I best support you on this journey?<br><br>Join Zoom Meeting<br><a href="https://nfb-org.zoom.us/j/92797371396?pwd=QkJ6MVJ6WDVvMEhGdXpMQTlLM000QT09">https://nfb-org.zoom.us/j/92797371396?pwd=QkJ6MVJ6WDVvMEhGdXpMQTlLM000QT09</a><br><br>Meeting ID: <span>927 9737 1396</span><br><span>Passcode: 1977</span><br><br>---<br><br>One tap mobile<br><span>+13017158592,,92797371396#</span> US (<span>Washington DC</span>)<br><span>+13052241968,,92797371396#</span> US<br><br>Join instructions<br><a href="https://nfb-org.zoom.us/meetings/92797371396/invitations?signature=hadPNWoBgQDV1z1PpoIuK-vc6n7h77No3BFm-hOfTAg">https://nfb-org.zoom.us/meetings/92797371396/invitations?signature=hadPNWoBgQDV1z1PpoIuK-vc6n7h77No3BFm-hOfTAg</a></div></div>
