Gratitude and DohJe

There are surveys, feedback forms, cards we circle and submit - then there is Thank You!

As caregivers we want to know how we are doing, tell us what we did right, and what we can do better. That is different from showing your grattitude. Thats why we are happy to announce our new partnership with DohJe - a way to say thank you to the caregivers who made a differnce.

The Possible Power of Date Fruit....

Here at MMC, our clients often ask us if there is anything they can do to get labor started. My first response is that the baby is the best judge of his or her birthday, and will pick the very best day. Another popular question is; is there anything I can do to make my labor easier? To answer this question, I usually start a conversation about preparation ahead of time, through our Childbirth Prep classes and through our recommended reading list. We will also discuss doulas and reaching out in their personal community for support.
