About
Angela
I
remember the first time I learned about doulas. A student in a
career studies class I was teaching was intrigued by the word
and decided to do some further research on the topic. Ironically,
I learned about what would become my eventual career while I was
guiding others in exploring their own career interests.
Less than two years later my husband and I were
anxiously awaiting the arrival of our first child. We were excited,
but nervous. What would birth be like? Would we be good parents?
Although my preferences for birth have changed quite a bit since
then, both my husband and I knew that we needed the support of
someone who was experienced with birth.
The support we received from our doula was irreplaceable.
Thanks to her knowledge, caring personality, and positive outlook,
we are able to look back on the birth of our son with satisfaction.
We did ittogether.
When I became pregnant with our second child, I
had begun my training as a doula. Even though I had learned much
in my training, and most of the fear surrounding birth was gone,
we valued the support we received the first time and decided to
use the services of a doula once again. Our experience with the
birth of our daughter was very different than the first time,
but the feelings of accomplishment and satisfaction were the same.
So, now you know a little about Angela. I
am so happy to have found such an important and fulfilling career
as a doula, and consider it a privilege to share in the most intimate
and wonderful experience in life with my clients.
"Amazing
an angel from above! As
our birth plan quickly spiraled out of control, Angela exceeded
our expectations at every turn. Her assistance was priceless in
the critical moments of the most significant event of our lives.
We will be forever grateful." Jessica
