 V’s Birth Team The postpartum stage and breastfeeding are powertimes of life as the woman/birthing person and partner transform into a parent(s), bringing new life, love, and creation. As a doula, I see my main purpose as holding space for the mom-to-be and family during one of the most miraculous and intimate times of one’s life. Holding space takes the form of providing informational, emotional, and physical support at all stages of the perinatal experience for mom and family. I work with moms/parents, partners and families in developing support tools that reflect the uniqueness and needs for that particular family and transition in a compassionate, nonjudgmental, mom/family centered space. I have received formal doula arts training at Twin Lakes College of the Healing Arts, Santa Cruz, CA and received my doula certification through Natural Resources, San Francisco, CA . Also, I’ve had special training with Five Flavors Herbs and American School of Herbalism, Gail Tully of Spinning Babies, Rachel Yellin in “Supporting the Hypnosis-Based Birth,” “Tracking Spirit in the Birth Environment” with Isa Gucciardi, Ph.D, and UCSD Extension Lactation Educators certification with Gini Baker, RN, IBCLC, MPH, and Elizabeth Davis’ “Heart & Hands” midwifery intensive. I’m experienced in perinatal herbal medicine, acupressure, moxabustion,labor and breastfeeding massage, breastfeeding support, newborn care and parenting, mindfulness meditation, breath and vocalization techniques, as well as other mind and body comfort measures, and postpartum nutrition. I happily support your birth at home, at a birth center or at the hospital. We work together in your home and place of birth – including home, birth center and hospital.
