| Introduction | I have been crazy about babies and pregnancy and birth since I was a child, from dreaming of being an OB (before I was hip to modern day midwifery)since grade school, to middle school science fair projects on the 40 weeks before birth. I became a mother at 18 to a perfect, beautiful boy before I had a chance to pursue a career in birth. Years later, an angel was sent my way via the owner of the salon I was employed at as a hairstylist, she is a doula as well, and opened up a new world for me that I had been searching for my whole life. It led me to become a doula and to learn the benefits of homebirth, where my third son was born into his daddy's hands. :) Working with mothers and babies is the work that feeds my soul. |
