Dearest Doula Podcast Episode 19

podcast interview featuring Nathalie Saenz and Bonita Katz

It was both an incredible honor and incredible fun interviewing Birth Doula Program Chair Bonita “Bonnie” Katz of the ICEA. She is full of passion and a remarkable kindness- even going so far as to switch out of a squeaky chair before the show to ensure that our listeners get top-notch audio quality! In this episode Bonnie shares with us the early beginnings of the International Childbirth Education Association, how much they have grown since, and some of the amazing programs they are offering for birth workers today.
