Trainings/Certifications: Bradley Method (AAHCC), CAPPA trained postpartum doula,
Lactation Trained
Bio: I took the Bradley Method® classes as a pregnant mom-to-be in September 2005. My
teacher, Lara Miller, was also my doula. Olivia was born on February 2, 2006. Her birth was
completely natural. Her birth was the most amazing, beautiful, life changing experience. It
changed our lives. I felt so empowered after it, like I could do anything! With some
encouragement from Lara and Simon, my husband, I decided to get my childbirth education and
doula training. I took my Bradley Method® teachers and labor doula training in September 2006.
In June of 2007 I took my CAPPA postpartum doula training. I have continued to read and study
everything I can about pregnancy and childbirth. I want to encourage women to discover the
wonder that birth can be.
Philosophy: I believe that every woman has a right to be informed about all aspects of her
pregnancy and labor. I believe she deserves to be taught by women who are there to support
and inform her rather that teach her to be compliant. I believe that women have a right to
choose where they give birth and who attends them. Birth is a natural process and one of the
most beautiful and complex processes in life. I believe it should be honored and respected. I
feel birth has a lot to teach those willing to open up and learn from it.
How many families do you serve each year? Depends on my availability
How long do you work with postpartum families?
What areas do you serve?
Additional Services: I offer childbirth education (The Bradley Method), I have taken several
herbal and homeopathy workshops. I will be a good resource for people interested in that
method of care. I know many of the naturopaths in the area.
