I have a passion for birth that I have felt since I was a young girl. With each birth of my four sons, I learned more about my body and the natural labor process. After breastfeeding all of my children, I became an advocate for breastfeeding. While enjoying my role as a homemaker and a mom over the last two decades, I have also taught Spanish to elementary children, worked with my local WIC program as a breasfeeding counselor and educator, and had my own business as a cooking tool consultant. As my children grew up and began to leave home, my search for my calling led me back to my passion for birth. My background as an educator helps me to work with women as they prepare for birth. My experience as a nurturer equips me to support a laboring couple with care and tenderness. Please contact me to begin planning your special day. I look forward to helping you to surround your birth with joy! E-mail Julie |
I also love labor and birth and feel it is my calling in life to help women and couples in the childbirth process. I am a mother of three beautiful children, the first two born by cesarean and the third by natural vaginal birth with the help of a support "team" which consisted of my husband, doctor, nurse, and Doula. What an empowering experience! Prior to becoming a Doula nine years ago, I was a labor and delivery nurse for 15 years. Through that experience, I learned that laboring mothers who desire a more special labor and birth experience, one where they are empowered to be a part of the decision-making processes, could really use the support of a Doula to help them. My experiences as a nurse as well as a Doula have been a blessing for me as each labor and birth is a different and unique experience. I always feel so excited for the mother and couple as they come through their experiences feeling such a sense of accomplishment. E-mail Paula |
