My son and daughter-in-law with newborn grandson.
I am married and have two wonderful children. I welcomed the arrival of my first grandchild, a little boy, in August of 2009. My son and daughter-in-law chose to have a water birth at home with a midwife. I am very passionate about birth and the birthing process. I feel that every mother and her partner deserve the best possible outcome from their birth.
I attended birth doula training through Childbirth Education Specialists and received my birth doula certification through DONA International. I am currently working toward certification as an ICEA childbirth educator.
“Women have the inner power and the inner knowledge of giving birth. There is a parallel of sexuality and giving birth. Women who are giving birth, trust yourselves. Trust your inner power. Trust your ability to give life. This is something absolutely sacred that is inside all women in the world. A doctor, nurse, and all midwives in the world are people who are not in the position to teach a woman how to give birth, but to make it easier for her to do what she already knows how to do.”
