I specialize in homebirths...but I love to help any family attempt to achieve whatever type of birth they want for their family (and supported hospital births for the first 6 years of my career). My philosophy is that each birth will have a story, and I try to help the parents have the best birth story possible when everything is done.

EDUCATION: I graduated from NAU in 2001 with a bachelor's degree in journalism and a minor in women's studies. I am currently a student midwife, and am certified in Level One Reiki Therapy. I am certified by DONA and have taken the preparatory class for Childbirth And Postpartum Professional Association (CAPPA) for Childbirth Education Certification. I belong to The Arizona Midwifery Institute, ADOBE, Nurturing Hearts Birth Services and Supported Birth of Arizona.

EXPERIENCE: I am experienced in the support of hospital births, birth center births and home births, including support of Bradley Method Couples, HypnoBirthing , VBAC and Water Births. I have also experienced my own unmedicated birth attended by a doula and midwife at Bethany Birth Center. I have been performing doula services since October of 2005.

BIRTH PHILOSOPHY: I trust birth. I believe that the thing most important to ensuring that a mom has a wonderful birth experience is her feeling of being supported 100% in whatever decisions she makes or actions she takes. I feel that my role as a doula is to empower moms in this most momentous time. Whether it be dancing with mom to get her back into the rhythm of labor or getting Dad a snack so he can reenergize and be there for mom, my goal is to provide continuous, unconditional support. Birth is amazing!

The greater Pheonix Area including Pinal County! I have given birth to three amazing people whomake my life very interesting. My experiences created a yearning to help other women have rewarding births filled with respect, joy and a sense of amazement at the act of bringing another being into existence. I've had a variety of birth experiences and appreciate the benefits of natural childbirth, and respect women who choose a medicated birth. I have walked both paths at different times in my life. All of my experiences have been amazing, and I've learned about myself and the birth process through each one.

Every woman is capable of birth, and each woman knows what she needs to have the experience she wants. I can support women in any setting of their choice. I can work with Mom & Dad or be Mom's sole support at her birth. I have a special place in my heart for every Mom. If you would like support but are unsure of your financial ability please contact me. We can make an arrangement that will work for both of us.

I compleated my certification for Post Partum in July of 07 and birth in January of 08. I am a passionate doula and I am so excited to be working in our great birth community here in the Valley. I am currently working with clients in both birth and post partum , and have experience in waterbirths, c-sections, and VBACS as well as good old fashioned "normal" births. In my post-partum work I work with new families as they navigate that topsy turvy precious first few weeks together. I work with all new families that want that little extra something to sweeten and smooth the way and I love to work with twins. I have served my clients at many local hospitals and at the Bethany Birthing Center. I named by business As You Wish Birth and Post Partum Doula Services because it is my honor and passion to get you whatever is is that you wish for your birth experience.

I am located in South Mountain Village, but I'm willing to teach classes valley wide. I am a certified childbirth educator through Nurturing Hearts Birth Services. My central goal is to teach my clients that they can take responsibility for their birth choices through increased knowledge. I'm very enthusiastic about educating couples in the extensive amount of information and options available surrounding the birthing process. There are no right or wrong choices concerning your birth - only what's right for you. After my classes, you will have an abundance of information and facts whereby you can truly make informed decisions.

In addition to being a certified childbirth educator I'm also a doula. I have experience as a Registered Nurse and I have a B.S. in Nursing. I also have had the wonderful opportunity to give birth to my three children at home and have attended several births.

I believe that childbirth is a very natural, normal part of a woman's life. A woman and her family can achieve their childbirth goals when lovingly supported by family, friends and birth professionals. It is my goal to help women have the birth experience that they desire through education, informed choice, and physical and emotional support.

I look forward to working with you. I'm confident that after my classes, you will feel secure in making birth ecisions that are right for you.

EDUCATION: I graduated from NAU in 2001 with a bachelor's degree in journalism and a minor in women's studies. I am currently a student midwife, and am certified in Level One Reiki Therapy. I am certified by DONA and have taken the preparatory class for Childbirth And Postpartum Professional Association (CAPPA) for Childbirth Education Certification. I belong to The Arizona Midwifery Institute, ADOBE, Nurturing Hearts Birth Services and Supported Birth of Arizona.

BIRTH PHILOSOPHY: I trust birth.

I feel that my role as a doula is to empower moms in this most momentous time. Whether it be dancing with mom to get her back into the rhythm of labor or getting Dad a snack so he can reenergize and be there for mom, my goal is to provide continuous, unconditional support. Birth is amazing!

I have also experienced my own unmedicated birth attended by a doula and midwife at Bethany Birth Center. I have been performing doula services since October of 2005.

BIRTH PHILOSOPHY: I trust birth. I believe that the thing most important to ensuring that a mom has a wonderful birth experience is her feeling of being supported 100% in whatever decisions she makes or actions she takes. I feel that my role as a doula is to empower moms in this most momentous time. Whether it be dancing with mom to get her back into the rhythm of labor or getting Dad a snack so he can reenergize and be there for mom, my goal is to provide continuous, unconditional support. Birth is amazing!
