Sumi's Touch Doula Manual
Sumayyah Franklin is a doula, educator, artist, and an aspiring midwife. I had the most amazing time collaborating with Sumayyah to redesign and add colorful illustrations to her beautiful manual!
Sumi's Touch Doula Manual is a comprehensive guide for doulas everywhere, covering significant areas of knowledge including: stages of pregnancy; comfort measures during pregnancy, labor and postpartum; communicating with clients; abortion and loss; working with queer families; and more!
From Sumi: "When I first sat down on my bright red vintage couch in the wee hours of the night I had not one clue what I was getting myself in to. What I intended to be a few pages of the essential things a doula needs to know for my doula training workshop, became an almost 20,000 word manifesto!"
