Breastfeeding
Mom and Accredited Support Leader

Bio:  I became interested in supporting other mothers after my own five premature births.  I
began training and offering labor and birth support in 1993, and have participated in births in
homes, birth centers and hospitals.  More recently, I have focused my practice on preparing
couples for childbirth with custom designed birthing classes and help after the birth through
breastfeeding support and postpartum doula services.

Philosophy:  I believe that birth is a milestone family event and that parenting is a sacred
trust.  Mothers and fathers need reliable support and education which awakens and supports
their parental instincts, and empowers them to make informed, confident choices regarding
birth and parenting.  I believe this builds strong, loving families.
