Trainings/Certifications:  DONA Certified Doula

Bio:  I have a BA in Early Childhood Education and I have taught in a
preschool for almost 20 years.  I worked with babies, taught three-year
preschool and kindergarten.  I have been married over 30 years and
have two grown children, both married, and one grandchild.  I became
a birth doula at the end of 2004 after many years of fascination with birth.

Philosophy:  I believe that the birth process is an amazing miracle that should be revered and embraced.  A
woman's pregnancy and birth experience is something she never forgets and I feel  like it affects the rest of her
life either negatively or positively.  My goal as a doula is to nurture, support and encourage a birthing woman to
have a birth memory that she cherishes.  As a Christian, I pray for my clients during their pregnancy and birth.  I
have worked with women with partners and women who were alone and it is an honor to be part of the
experience.

How many births do you attend a year?  6-8

I serve women birthing at these hospitals: CMC- Pineville, CMC-Main, Presbyterian uptown and Matthews

How many prenatal and postpartum visits do you provide? Two prenatal and one-two postpartum,
depending on need.

Additional Services:  Breastfeeding Support and Resources
