“Attending Harbor Birth Institute’s two‑day postpartum doula workshop was a transformative experience. In one weekend, I gained practical knowledge—from infant feeding and postpartum recovery to navigating common hurdles—with clarity and support. The instruction was rooted in community care and supporting women, and the instructors brought energy, empathy, and real-world experience. I left feeling empowered, confident, and truly prepared to support families.”
