Personal notes: I am a former Systems Analyst & Database Designer who did not feel fullfilled with the type of work I was doing. After alot of internal "soul searching" I decided to pursue a career in midwifery. I am currently a nursing student as well as a doula and will soon begin my midwifery courses. I am very knowledgable and expereinced in the birthing process and look forward to helping many mommies to be.
