I have been a certified childbirth educator since 1995. I am the mother of three children, ages 20, 18 and 14. My birth experiences were all very different, but each unique and special. I have had personal experiences with routine intervention and medication during labor, as well as completely natural childbirth (a goal that was realized only after I educated myself.) I believe deeply in a woman's ability to work with her body's signals to handle labor, and the power of continuous, effective support. I also have a great respect for the wise and appropriate use of modern technology and advanced medical procedures, and strive to create a balance between the two. I have, over the course of a five year period, had the privilege of supporting many couples during their birth experiences. Currently, my efforts are focused solely on teaching.
