Welcome to the Nurturing Birth forum. This forum was created to help our Nurturing Birth doulas to share, learn, off-load, reflect, etc
Our "Womb Wise Women" are a special feature of this forum

Our Womb Wise Women are very experienced doulas who have agreed to mentor doulas via this forum. They will read posts and answer questions or ask questions to you. Their aim is to help doulas find their feet, encourage them in their everyday work and support them when times are difficult. They may also challenge you if they believe that other ways of looking at a particular situation might be useful. Their aim is to be supportive, helpful, non-judgmental and positive.

You have to enter the forum to discover who they are!

Moderating
To be a good doula, we need to be non judgmental and open to others views and ways of thinking. This is also what we need on this forum. However we know from our extensive forum experience that exchanges can be heated and written words misunderstood. We will moderate the forum with this in mind. We are not legally responsible for comments, views and suggestions included on the forum we do reserve the rights to review posts. If we feel something you have posted is either open to mis-interpretation or un-acceptable (defamatory or abusive for example), we will contact you personally and ask you to modify or remove your post. We will temporarily or permanently remove posts if necessary though we are hoping to not do this often! If you see a post that concerns you or that you think should be reported, do let us know too. In extreme cases we may rescind a user's right to access forum.

Confidentiality/Privacy
We would like to ask you to think about confidentiality. Do not post people’s name on here without their consent! If you share a client’s story use initials (never full names). If a client is looking for a doula, make sure the client is happy to have her name and details posted on the forum. Alternatively put your own name and tel. number.
If you read a story or a post on the forum you do not have the automatic right to forward it on to others or other forums without the expressed agreement of the original poster. Be careful of copyrights. State your sources if you are going to post something from somewhere else on the web.
