Who am I?
I am the proud mother of three grown children, one teenager, one beautiful baby boy who passed away at 22 weeks prenatally, and a grandma to a very lively 3 year old girl who goes by the nickname Bread!
From the time I was very young I wanted to be involved in anything that had to do with babies. When I witnessed the birth of my baby sister, at the age of 12, I knew I wanted to be at more births. I was able to be present for the birth of her second baby 27 years later! Prior to that I was with my best friend as she delivered her first baby.
I learned about the role of a birth and postpartum doula and I jumped right in! I took a course with Childbirth Professionals International out of Sacramento, Ca and am in the process of completing courses for prenatal and infant loss through both Stillbirthday and P.A.I.L.
