Once I observed a birth, I felt so ready to be on my own but I lacked confidence. I attended a birth with Chris and another with Michele and they let me take control. They stood back and observed me in action. They both gave me great feedback and the boost I needed to take clients on my own. Mentoring with a certified doula gives you a unique, empowering experience as a budding doula.” — Holly S. Mentee, Certified Birth Doula https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608d4977d1bf763c75115b3b/1620308995133-FFL06CBBU78EH4WD1PFL/mentoring.jpg Doula Mentoring - “Mentoring is about guiding and leading. It is not taking the certifying doula by the hand, it is gently showing her the way in your spirit, voice and the way you treat your moms, dads and families. Sometimes it IS about having her being on her own, perhaps making a decision, and having the mentor doula encouraging her." — Christine G.

Approximately one-third of infertility is attributed to the female partner, one-third attributed to the male partner and one-third is caused by a combination of problems in both partners or, is unexplained. Approximately 44% of women with infertility have sought medical assistance. Of those who seek medical intervention, approximately 65% give birth. (Infertility As A Covered Benefit, William M. Mercer, 1997) Approximately 85-90% of infertility cases are treated with drug therapy or surgical procedures. Fewer than 3% need advanced reproductive technologies like in vitro fertilization (IVF). (www.asrm.org) The most recently available statistics indicate the live birth rate per fresh non-donor embryo transfer is 47.7% if the woman is under 35 years of age and 39.2% if the woman is age 35-37.
