I am certified with DONA International as a Birth Doula and am currently serving the greater Evansville area. I am also Lamaze trained and offer classes rooted in "freedom of choice based on knowledge of alternatives" and the 6 Care Practices that Facilitate Normal Birth. I encourage the families I serve to seek evidence-based care.
Here are some websites whose vision I allign myself and my vision for families

The Childbirth Connection
The Six Care Practices that Support Normal Birth
Watch Women Give Birth With Confidence
Tools and Tips for Expectant Parents from Lamaze International
Lamaze weekly pregnancy newsletter
I believe that all women have the right to make informed choices, deciding for themselves what the best decisions are for them and their babies, working together with their caregivers as part of a team. I would be delighted to work with you during this special time to help you have the birth you want - whatever that may be. Please email me or telephone for more information. If you reach my voicemail please leave a message and I will contact you as soon as I am available. I look forward to hearing from you.
