"I just felt that birth is such a wonderful
thing, and a lot of women are alone,
even though they do have their partner,
they're basically alone. We really
provide necessary support. As women
we have strength that we can share
with other women in an event in their
life that is just so meaningful to them as
individuals, to their families, and to
their communities."
Lise Golub, a registered nurse, childbirth
educator, doula, and mother of four.
