My vision is to have a heart filled with kindness, to be prepared to help anyone of any race, age, community or religion. My affirmation: Mothers and babies are beings of love and should be met with hearts filled with love.
Birth In Your Own Way
As a Doula, I assist Mom and her partner in, understanding the birth process, achieving a safe and comfortable environment, and implementation of their birth plan. I am trained to provide labor harmony and will not perform clinical tasks. I apply my knowledge, skill and technique, in an environment of your choice, to help you realize a joyful and spiritual birth experience.
Birth is..........
Birth is a time of great anticipation, courage, fear, hope, separation, peace, connection, and love.
Getting To Know Me
I am a certified doula with BirthWorks Inc., and a research associate/support scientist in a federal government scientific laboratory. As a mentor, I’m motivated by personal experience and through outreach activities to empower under-represented students to pursue careers in math and science. Along with this, I charge all women (and men) to embrace and honor womanhood, and to cherish the many transitions of the feminine life experience. This desire to encourage and empower, has propelled me into advocacy of the normalcy of the birth experience. I have experienced the incredible years of motherhood, and recently became a grandparent. My heart for children began very early in life but as a mother my passion is unmatched. It is this nurturing spirit that still consumes me. In my avocation, as a doula, I serve a diverse community of expectant parents who are appreciative of the love, comfort, support, and knowledge that I share. The MOMS Program of Montgomery County Mental Health Association, is an organization where I’m able to offer experience, encouragement and support to expectant and new parents in my community. Thanks for visiting my website. Tell your friends to come by here. If you have time, sign in, I'd like to meet you.
