When Birth Calls, Developing Your Inner Birthworker, is inspired by aspiring birthworkers, who desire to answer their own "calling" and seeking guidance through what has become a maze of pathways and professional titles from Doula to Obstetrician. This book serves as a navigational tool for the neophyte embarking on their journey into birthwork and will help them to best identify their pathway.
