I am a DONA trained birth doula (certification pending) and I have attended births at all three Calgary hospitals, High River Hospital and one home birth. Visit my website at www.birthwithknowledge.com to learn more about my services.
I am also currently training to become a Lamaze Certified Childbirth Educator (certification pending). My rates are very reasonable and I am very knowledgeable about low-risk, uncomplicated pregnancies. I also have substantial knowledge regarding VBAC, multiple pregnancies, and diabetes in pregnancy.
I see pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding as normal and healthy events in the lives of women. Women are strong and I have confidence in their ability to birth their babies. I encourage my clients to explore the Lamaze Six Healthy Birth Practices as they await the birth of their child(ren). These evidence based practices have been adapted from the WHO to “promote, protect and support natural, safe and healthy birth” (Lamaze, 2011).
I believe that informed consent is the foundation for a successful and fulfilling birth experience and my goal as a birth doula is to help and support my clients to make informed choices for themselves (whatever those choices happen to be) to reach that end.
I would be more than happy to meet with you at a location of your choosing for a no obligation initial consultation to see if I would be a good fit for your birth experience. Please visit my website www.birthwithknowledge.com for more information.
