Your Best Birth by Ricki Lake

Nickie Tilsner, a doula and doula trainer in the San Francisco Bay Area advises moms-to-be on how to choose a doula. She recommends that you pay careful attention to how your energy matches hers. “Experience is not the key here”, Nickie said. “You may feel completely comfortable with someone who has just finished her training…. “You never know how your labor is going to go, and you want someone who will go with you.”
