My Philosophy
|
I believe in supporting parents from all walks of life during their journey through pregnancy, labor and birth, regardless of their choices surrounding the event. I work with families who have epidurals and scheduled cesareans or home births and water births - and everything in between. Regardless of your choices, I am confident in my ability to bring substantial support to your individual experience. Birth is truly extraordinary and I feel absolutely honored to be a part of each and every client's story.
My ExperienceI completed my DONA doula training in 2011. From there, I went on to volunteer for Clackamas County's Healthy Start/Healthy Families program at Willamette Falls Hospital in Oregon City. Since 2012, I've been a Moms Helping Moms mentor for the Catholic Charities adoption and pregnancy support program, working as a mentor and doula for single moms and teen moms. As of July 2015, I hold a current birth and bereavement doula certification through stillbirthday.com. (All bereavement work is done free of charge.) Currently completing my degree in Public Health at Portland State University and moving on to become a Certified Nurse Midwife at OHSU in the very near future, working births in when my school schedule allows.
