May is the month of mothers and so we celebrate those who “mother the mother” – doulas! What better way to celebrate birth and postpartum professionals than a documentary on doulas and our important role with families?

“The Essential Ingredient: Doula” is available (free!) via YouTube – watch it, share it via social media, send to your clients, show it to your childbirth education students, embed it on your website….it’s yours to share.

Here’s the link to use and share: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u792CxDT7cE
