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.

'04)
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.

to see you again.

This
weekend was highly impacting, very moving, interesting, inspiring.
I look forward very much to advancing my experience and knowledge
of this lifestyle and to joining such an important movement.

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.

Thank you!!! I learned so much about childbirth, women in labor
and myself. You guys did an incredible job. I am so happy I had
your instruction.

Felicia
& Nicki work beautifully together. They opened my mind, my heart,
my belly, my thoughts and my birth experience. I’m ready for
the next steps, whatever they may be.

Highlights for me were the amazing atmosphere you created –
a nurturing, loving space in which you facilitated true learning,
sharing, and profound growth. Thank you!

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.
- B.F. Jan 04
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.

Felicia
is approachable, warm caring and passionate! All of this made the
weekend incredibly enjoyable, moving and educational. She is the
doula I hope to become.

Thank you so much! I felt very comfortable - you treated all of
us, our various styles and questions with respect. You have a gift
for teaching through modeling appropriate birth behavior
