I completed a birth doula training with you October 6th and 7th of 2007 (I
had pink hair, and I am a student at UC Davis)! I still have some great
memories from that weekend, and lots of knowledge to share and apply to my
education. Thank you so much for allowing me to join you that weekend! It
was honestly something I will treasure and never forget.
I wanted to write to you because I attended my second birth
The positive energy and strength of all of (these) women was so powerful! I
was able to practice so much that I learned at the training with you. I really want to thank you so much for all your wisdom. You are such a
wonderful role model for women! Thank you for sharing you strength and your
heart. S.T. May '08

Thank you Felicia for the deep and heart-full, and at the same time playfull and light space you create in your class. Your teaching is clear and direct with a great combo of wisdom and practical information. You walk your talk and you model how to be a great doula in how you teach, how you respond to your students and in what you share about your life. You inspire me to go back to my work and projects with renewed energy and a desire to share my gifts and passions as generously as you share yours

During this weekend I met so many amazing women and I stepped out of my comfort zone to grow and felt completely supported!

Felicia, your life does indeed sing ina melody bright and clear, healing and free. Thank you for sharing that song and giving freedom to women to find their voice. I am honored to carry the 'notes' of your 'song' into my own.

Dear Felicia, doula work has definitely picked up and that's largely due to your referrals and the confidence boost I got after taking your training. What I learned there was invaluable. I would recommend this workshop to the most experienced doula and the freshest women interested in birth without experience.

Thank you so much to both of you for holding such beautiful space for us to all blossom into our doula work. I feel that I learned so much information that will really help me have the confidence to start my practice. More importantly I felt truly nutured and loved and listened to through the weekend. I so enjoyed being with this powerful group of women. You are both really amazing women and together you really balance and shine.

Everything was exceptionally wonderful!! I loved each of your ways of expressing yourselves and connecting us all to each other and the doula mission. Thank you from every breath of me.

Felicia, your reputation precedes you. I've joined a doula group and have begun to accrue a doula pool. Anyone who asks where I did my training is immediately caught with a rush of air and exclaims "Oh, Felicia is incredible!" I felt honored at the time, during that weekend, and it's only increased since. So, I send my thanks which still spirals into more and farther reaching thanks.

Felicia is professional, stays on track, and demonstrates respect for all involved in birth. She brings heart to this work and to the women she trains. She is intelligent, strong caring and gentle. Few people can bring together the range of talents in such a gracious way.

This was the most transformative, loving, amazing workshop I've ever attended. Your openness and welcoming helped me to immediately be comfortable & willing to put my all into learning & experiencing everything that came my way.

Felicia's knowledge, experience and dedication to all aspects of birth is so inspirational yet it is her heart, passion and totality of being that moved me to my core. Thank you Felicia for your love, wisdom and passion for birth, life & the woman.
