WELCOME: A LONG JOURNEY

I have arrived. This have been a long journey. When I was a young child, I have always love pregnant women. I looked at one of my college papers that I wrote years ago and it mentioned that I always was interested in procreation and wanting to be a midwife. Some how I let life get in the way of that passion.

It took a lot of years to find that Passion again. They say whatever your passion is, it is from your childhood. It is right in front of your face and you can not see it. All I really needed to do was slow down and find a quiet spot and it would have appeared to me.

Now that I have found that spot, I will not lose it again. Passion is Freedom.


WOMEN NEED WOMEN

I am a women, wife, mother, grandmother and a Certified Labor Doula, Certified Childbirth Educator, Certified Teen Support Professional and a member of CAPPA Association . I am now working on being a Lactation Educator.

I Have a Contract with Healthy Start Coalition as a Childbirth Educator for the Public High Schools in my County and for Doula Births. I also have a contract with the YWCA for Doula Births and Childbirth Education classes for their teen parents program.

This has been a great journey- I have attended over 100+ births with older ,teen, homeless, visually impaired, and substance abuse moms.

I could not have done all that I done without the help of my husband. When I am gone for a couple of hours or for 36+ hours or more he is there to support me. He make sure my quartly taxes are up to date and mail them on time, make sure the clothes are clean and make sure he does not make a mess when I am gone. He really understands when I have been gone for 36+ hours that I need to sleep maybe for 24 hours to rest.

Thanks for all the doulas that backed me up at my births.




Again, I welcome you to my journey and come on the roller coaster ride with me. It will be a great ride.
