Hollie Hauptly has been a passionate doula and childbirth educator since 2010. Hollie’s journey began with the transformative birth of her first child, which inspired her to switch career paths and dive headfirst into doula training. Now, as the owner and CEO of Birth Boot Camp, she’s on a mission to empower expecting parents everywhere.
In this episode, Hollie shares the five essential things every parent should do to prepare for birth and how to be better educated about the birth process. We also dive into the often-overlooked postpartum period and how women can have better postpartum experiences.
