How do I thank my doula

So post birth, a month and I want to thank my doula.

But what can I say or do, i dont want to just get her a gift. I want to make her something or support her charity.

But how?

I'm already donating pregnancy and birth books to her charity and would love to some how make a bigger donation by collecting donations but I have no idea about how to go about it.

I was also thinking of giving her a professionally framed picture of our family with a little jar with a clip of our little girls hair, a placenta cap, and some asphelt from the RPA car park (where i gave birth)

What do you think

We had photos taken with our Doula after G was born so we gave that framed along with a nice bottle of wine for her to enjoy.

I think the ideas sound awesome !

Hmmmm...whatever you give her will be very much appreciated and treasured.
Your idea's sound lovely and very personal

I think most Doulas love to have a pic of the mums and bubs they have supported and there is nothing like beautiful words. So write her a heart felt reference that she can show off to other women that are wanting her care. Congratulations to you for the safe arrival of your baby girl.
