Thank you for sharing your story.

All done!

Hey there. Hello. My name is Roberta Stewart and I am a full spectrum doula using traumainformed care. I work with the full spectrum of reproductive experiences. I was inspired to become a doula when I realized that everyone ever born was first grown in a body, in a belly. There's a thread, a community that connects us all, a connection to be celebrated. When I work in the birth space, it's crucial to acknowledge that everyone's reproductive journey will be different. Yours will be unique to you. We will bring our habits and existing coping tools and strategies to pregnancy, birthing and parenting. It's important to work to find ways to prepare you as birth giver for these experiences by sharing information and by supporting you both emotionally and physically. My caregiving style prioritizes an empowered and clientcentered journey. My expertise is facilitating community, maintaining an inclusive, calm chill zone, and to hold space for those important questions and possible decisions to be made. You are the captain of your own birth. Advocating for you and birthing partner is a priority for me. I also love to use movement prenatally during birth and postpartum. I find it's productive, it's useful, it's beautiful. Wherever you're at, bringing any movement to those experiences is wonderful. Birth is an amazing, chaotic journey to be embraced. And at the end of it, you get to meet your baby. It'd be my honor to join you on this fantastical journey. For more questions, you can contact me through Broodcare. I look forward to meeting you. Take care. Bye.

Hello & What's Next

Hi. Lizzie here. We're so glad that you're part of our brood and that there's so many families who are curious to get to know you and a little bit about your story. We're using video in a creative way so families can see you, hear your voice, hear a little bit about your story, and understand if tour a good fit to jive. Jill's going to help you a little bit more with your setup and we're going to share a few questions for you to practice and think about when creating a really short, casual video to share with folks. Thank you so much for your energy and sharing a little bit about.

Getting Set Up

Jill. Here some quick ways to get set up. Grab your phone or your laptop with a video camera in it. Set it up somehow. Maybe you've got a stand or on a stack of books. You're going to find a natural source of light, like a window. Or if you're like me, you have one of those fancy ring lights. And then click record when you're ready. That's it.

You. So you're all ready to record. Your space is lit. You're looking great. Everything is calm and quiet. Now take out a pen and paper or a postit note, and you're going to think about these three prompts that you'll answer in your short video. The first is I became a doula because I became a doula because the the second is my caregiving style is my caregiving style is and the last my expertise is my expertise is we've created these three prompts, so you can share, pieces that you've studied, elements that you like to apply in your care work to families and anything that feels relevant and true to you. Anything that you would share in person. Make sure that you start all the prompts like you would in a conversation. My caregiving style is based on my cancer sign, I am a water sign. Blah, blah, blah. Whatever feels good to you. And our videos are under three minutes, so keep looking at a timer and keep talking and finish when you're ready to go. Good luck.

Thank you & get consent

That's it. You're all done. Thank you so much for submitting that video. It's really going to help our families get to know you a little bit better, more about your caregiving style, and help us set up the right pairings of doulas and families so they get the care that they need. If you have any questions or want any support in any of these things, do it again. Just want to talk it out with one of us. Get in touch with myself, Lizzie or Emma. That thank you.
