Meet Your ProDoula

Background/Experience that you think is beneficial to Doula work: I have an educational background in Special Education and Child Development. Prior to birth work, I spent 12 years working with families and children as a teacher and nanny. I certified as a birth doula and Childbirth Educator and continued my training as a postpartum doula and with various continuing education. I have further training supporting families experiencing infant loss.
