Amanda Seyfriedonce wanted to help moms bring babies into the world.
TheDropoutstar, 36, said in a cover story forMarie Claire’s Beauty Changemakers Issue that she trained to become a doula to assist women through childbirth after becoming a mother herself.
Seyfried shares daughterNina, 5, and sonThomas, 19 months, with husbandThomas Sadoski, 46.
She ended up not moving forward in the process due to the next steps — that included obtaining certifications — in order to make it official.
“I’m better at, like, taking pictures and massaging the back,” she told the publication.
The Oscar nominee has also taken up a new business venture. With the help of her friends, she’s started building playhouses for children. The toy homes are crafted from sustainable materials and will be big enough for kids to stand in. Seyfried and her friends hope to launch the company later this year, according toMarie Claire.
“It feels so good to do stuff completely out of my comfort zone. I can’t wait to start a company,” she said, adding: “I also don’t want to f–- it up for us. I’m not going to be the face of it. I’m not a brand person. I’m an actor.”
