- I am a professional labor support partner, known as a labor doula. I provide physical comfort measures, emotional support, and information before, during, and after the birth process. I also teach natural childbirth education classes in a small, intimate environment. We focus on learning relaxation techniques, labor positions, nutritional guidelines, the pros and cons of various interventions, the phases and stages of labor, breastfeeding, and newborn care.

General Info
Here is a quick summary of what Intrinsic Birthing is all about... * I believe that as women we are born with an intrinsic wisdom regarding birth. That wisdom should be honored and respected. *I believe birth is a natural process, not a medical event to be feared. *I believe natural childbirth is the safest way to give birth for most women - but not all women. *I believe families have the right to informed consent or denial regarding all medical procedures. *I believe all forms of childbirth benefit from preparation and support - but natural childbirth requires it!!! Please take a look through my website to find more information on the services I provide.
