I can’t thank [our doula] enough for helping our family welcome our daughter. She helped me and my husband through a fast-moving labor, and helped us get to the hospital just in the nick of time. She was excellent when it came to using massage techniques to relieve my pain during contractions.

NOTE ABOUT COMPLETING THE APPLICATION:
We have created the application process knowing that many of the interests, knowledge and experience that you may bring to our organization may not be adequately reflected in your resume. This is no surprise, really, when we consider that many of the experiences that are valued by us are not often valued in the professional world! This is your chance to put your parenting on your resume, to share your passion for wellness, or to share how caring for a family member impacted your awareness of perinatal mood disorders. We hope you are not daunted by the process, and also welcome you to streamline your application as appropriate, expanding on areas that you have experience and knowledge in, but skipping sections that do not apply. If you did list related experiences on your professional resume, there is no need to be redundant on the application and simply note that we should refer to your resume. On a final note, we encourage you to keep it relevant and know that we will have an extensive interview with strong applicants where you can share more as needed.
