Bio: I am 37 years old (as of 2007), married, and a mother of two.  I have a four-year degree in
Social Work and have worked with children for over 14 years.  I am open-minded, caring, non-
judgmental, and am light-hearted.  I feel that enjoying and experiencing life, is what it means to
truly live.  And one of the most meaningful times in anyone’s life is giving birth to a baby.  I have
always been interested in the miracle of pregnancy and the process of birth and delivery.  My two
births were wonderful although not “text book”.  What got me extremely interested in pursuing this
as a career was hearing stories of women who had not received the care and attention they
needed or required during birth or post-partum.  In todays HMO world medical personnel are
overwhelmed with many responsibilities and duties and cannot always give their patients the
attention they need during labor.  I want to offer my services in hopes of providing the kind of
care women in labor deserves and desires to help them and their partners through the entire
birth process.  

Philosophy: Birth itself is a natural unconscious process.  A woman’s body is ideally designed to
conceive, grow, and nurture a baby until it is ready for birth.  We do not think about the dilation of
the cervix, pelvis opening, ligaments becoming more flexible, or the baby turning at a critical point
in the birth process.  A woman’s body instinctively knows how to manage these complicated and
complex maneuvers (usually) without any outside interventions.   However, birth for the mom and
dad can be an overwhelming, emotional, unfamiliar, and ecstatically exhausting event.  As a
doula I will give my total attention and support to mom and dad during the entire labor and
delivery lending emotional support, pain management techniques, and medical knowledge.  If
unforeseen complications arise, I can help clarify the options, explain any alternatives available,
and help you understand the technologies advised by the medical staff.  A doula’s role is to make
you aware of your rights and choices regarding your care so that you may make the best
decision for you and your baby.  A doula does not to make any decisions or influence you or your
family about your care but assists you in selecting a sound medical choice best for you and your
situation.  I see my role as a doula as to enhance the parents experience in bringing their baby
into their family and helping them achieve a satisfying birth experience.
