Services: Home and Hospital births. Free initial consultation. As your doula I will provide at least two or three prenatal visits, phone support, education and information to help you be well informed. I will support you in the birth of your choice. I can help you with understanding the body-mind connection relationship to labor and pain and we can work with visualizations and meditative states, if you so desire. I will give you continual emotional and physical support throughout your labor and delivery and help with your first breastfeeding. I will then follow through with one or two post partum visits, as needed or desired.

Qualifications: Certified Childbirth Assistant through Childbirth Enhancement Foundation (CEF)

Personal notes: I have been an alternative healer in Santa Fe for over 22 years, focusing on emotional and spiritual healing. Prior to this I worked in hospital Coronary Care Unit, so I am very comfortable in both the medical and alternative fields of healing. I attended several home births in the role of doula before training and interning at St. Vincent's Hospital for certification. I see birth as a natural and normal process and will work with you to find your own body wisdom that will remind you of what may be best at different stages of labor. I love my work as a doula and feel it is a great priviledge to attend births.
