For many birth workers, where they enter this work is not the same place where they wind up. For example, some may enter this work providing labor support. Yet they may find once they have their own children, that postpartum work is a better fit. Others may enter into the field via postpartum support. Then, life leads them into childbirth or newborn care education.
Unlike many other professions, birth work allows the individual to step deeper into the work by providing other related services. Or, it can allow one to step back from birth work entirely and re-enter at a later date. All with minimal barriers to the work.
Join us as we discuss the path we've taken and the many options that allow individuals to support growing families.
