I was drawn to the field of pregnancy, labor and
childbirth at a rather young age. Something about it seemed so
natural and fascinating to me. As I got older, I wasn't sure how
I could fit this passion into my life.
When I graduated from college, I didn't know what my next step
would be, but I wanted to do something that involved helping women,
especially during the time of labor and childbirth. I searched
on the internet for ideas. That's when I learned all about becoming
a doula. I knew instantly that was the job for me. I immediately
contacted Doulas of North America (DONA), and signed up for a
training class. Never to enter into anything lightly, I also registered
for a training class to become a Lamaze Certified Childbirth Educator,
(LCCE).
Today, I am proud to say that I have finished my
certification through Lamaze International and am a full-fledged
LCCE. In addition, I am in the process of completing my certification
through DONA.
I feel blessed to have the knowledge to help educate women and
their partners during such a special time in their lives. I believe
every woman deserves to experience her pregnancy and birth with
confidence and support from those around her. As part of the Lamaze
Philosophy of Birth, I also believe that pregnancy and birth are
normal, natural and healthy. My goal is to empower women and their
families through education and support to achieve the positive
birth experience they are looking for. I am also fluent in American
Sign Language, and would like to work with the Deaf community
and Hearing Impaired.
