Rumer Willis is a trained doula.
Rumer Willis has revealed she’s trained as a doula
The 35-year-old actress became a first-time mother last year when she welcomed her little girl Louetta – her first child with partner Derek Richard Thomas – and she has now revealed she worked with the women who helped her give birth to become a postpartum doula so she can help other new mums.
In a post on her Instagram page, Rumer explained: “I think it is so important to have someone come and support you, especially as a new first-time mom. I am a trained as a postpartum doula now because I want to be of service to other women.”
She added in a video: “I did my postpartum training with my incredible midwives… they are continuing to do the postpartum training. It was unbelievably valuable to me not only as a new mom and learning how to more deeply care for myself but also potentially learning how to give that care to others.”
In a question-and-answer session with fans on the platform, Rumer hinted she may explore more career options and could potentially train as a midwife.
When asked what is next for her career, Rumer replied: “Music, movies, midwifery.”
Rumer celebrated her daughter Louetta’s first birthday earlier this month and in a previous post on Instagram, she reflected on the last 12 months with her “gift” of a child.
Sharing a slidshow of photos from her pregnancy, birth, and the tot’s first year – including with Louetta’s dementia-stricken grandfather Bruce Willis – Rumer wrote on Instagram: “Oh my tiny tender daughter, I CANT BELIEVE YOU ARE 1
“This last year with you has been the best year of my life. Lou I have never known a love like yours. You are the most delicious, most beautiful, smartest, funniest, sweetest girl I know.
