 Have you ever wondered about the meaning behind the name of my doula business? It has taken me a long time to verbalize and express the full meaning and I thought I would share it with you today.
In early 2015, I attended my very first doula training after two years of researching and planning my transition into entrepreneurship. Working as a professional nanny for 10 years had been an amazing experience, but I wanted more. I wanted to offer more to the families I was working with. And I also wanted more for my own family. I wanted to build a long lasting legacy rooted in community and support. Over the last 5 ½ years, Best of Both Worlds Doula Services has become so much more than I ever dreamed. My early years of both motherhood and business proved to be more than a challenge, but as I navigated my way through milestones & memories, I grew more confident in my abilities as a natural caregiver. I have seen the good, the bad and everything in between serving various family dynamics. If I haven't experienced it firsthand, I know someone who has and I have assisted them through the learning process. Best of Both Worlds Doula Services is where Passion meets purpose... Faith meets fulfillment... Knowledge meets experience... Tradition meets modern... Empowerment meets advocacy... Commitment meets community... With 20 years of experience in me, you can guarantee top notch support & care from a family expert. I understand how unique each family dynamic is and I will meet you where you are and provide quality service to ensure that your family will thrive. Contact me today to schedule your complimentary phone consultation.  In an effort to offer more to my clients and make a greater impact in my community through my business, I am launching my Community Partners Campaign. This campaign will involve me working with other local businesses and family care providers to ensure that our friends and neighbors can take care of their families and affirm that our community is thriving. My mentorship program will allow me to work with individuals seeking to become a doula or birthworker. Applications will be available soon. My referral program will consist of individuals and businesses who are interested in being brand ambassadors and receive incentives in return for referring clients. Inquiry forms will be available soon. The crowdfunding portion of my campaign will consist of monetary donations from friends, family and supporters of my business. Your donations will help fund community events, provide supplies for families and sponsor trainings and other educational opportunities. In honor of the new decade approaching, I am asking for $20.20 from each donor. Any amount is greatly appreciated! Please send donations to my PayPal or Cash App $KellyKCollins. You can learn more about my campaign here. Thank you for your support!  |
