Greetings Dear Families,
The wellbeing of the community is our priority. We have been closely following the impact that coronavirus (COVID-19) has had on maternity wards and expecting families. With the rapid escalation of COVID-19, and the heightened level of concern, birthworkers and expecting parents are facing temporary changes to the structure and delivery of doula services.
We are hoping and praying, with everyone else, that things resume to normal, as soon as possible.
