Kim's constant love and support helped me trust my body allowing me to birth my daughter gently and with confidence. Addison Wesley Publishing, 1993. My Philosophy I believe that all people have the right to informed choice and self-determination. When given all the information, options and support the right decisions will be made. I also believe women know how to birth and sometimes all they need is support to discover what they already know.
Women remember their birth experiences.
If women are fully informed, given options, supported to make their own decisions and play an active role in the process, they will look back on the birth as a positive and empowering event. As a doula, I help you to be fully informed and supported. Assisting you to write a birth plan. This can be especially helpful for hospital births. Being available to help you work through any unresolved feelings or fears about birth and parenting.
