I am a certified Childbirth Instructor through one of the fastest growing training organizations in the world: Chilbirth International.*
"Childbirth International is a unique organization.
With a global outlook and a strong belief in the 'education is power'
philosophy, we provide training for doula and childbirth educator
students all over the world. We
are committed to establishing the international standard for
Childbirth Education programs and doula training."
I personally have three children; one born in the hospital with an OBGYN, the second was a water birth at a free-standing birth center with a midwife, and the third was born at home with a midwife.
In my personal studies I have extensively studied the Bradley Method, as well as Hypnobirthing. My current continuing education includes Pelvic Mapping as taught in The Pink Kit, and the Beautiful Babies "Nutrition for Fertility, Pregnancy, Breastfeeding, and Baby's First Foods" course.
