MomaDoula offers services of stress care management, birth care support and related services; committed to provide and support services that would empower families to take charge of their prenatal experience and breastfeeding. I am a Birth Companion offering a birthing mother continuous emotional, physical and informational support. I am sensitive to women entering into their rites of passage as a mother, trusting in the process. Birthing is a spiritual journey for every woman, every woman who walks the path of motherhood. And knowing this, my nurturing spirit believes that she deserve support and encouragement during birth with a gentle touch. The information gained during the life-transforming period of pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum can have a profound impact on a woman, her significant others and family members. The Birth Companion supports the partner and involves him/her only to his level. The goal is to help women and their partners achieve the birth they desire and empower them with laboring skills to do so. Have attended births in hospital setting with clients attended by midwives and obstetricians. Have attended induction, vaginal and VBAC births My continuing education keeps me up-to-date with current changes. I am prepared to work in a variety of settings, am familiar with most facilities in DMV area, understand the benefits of social support systems, have audited childbirth classes and know different philosophies and I am prepared to address a variety of needs for the birthing family
