 Happy Spring! We are so so glad to finally say goodbye to winter - though we are still knee deep in snow here! World Doula Week was started back in March 2011. The purpose was to empower doulas all over the world to improve the physiological, social, emotional, and psychological health of women, newborns and families in birth and in the postpartum period. This year's theme is "Doulas Help Make It Happen"! Doulas are there to support, inform, encourage, and facilitate the beginnings of happy and healthy families everywhere. This year, here at Maternal Oak Doula, we have some HUGE giveaways in store for you throughout the week!

We also stand by every single one of these products that we have teamed up with to give away. We personally use them and adore them, which is why they were selected for this collaboration!
