My Experience:
I have served as a doula for around 20 families. These births included a wide variety of births including medicated and unmedicated, vaginal and cesarean, twins, preemies, and two waterbirths- one in the hospital , and one at home with midwives in attendance.
I have been a birth doula since mid 1999, took my DONA doula training seminar in November of 1999, and received my certification from Doulas of North America (DONA) in May 2000.
I have great interest in pursuing continuing education as a doula and have attended several childbirth related seminars. Most notably, I have attended "Doula Day 2001- Mastering the Art of Labor Support", Midwest Perinatal Conference 2002, and a 5 day seminar to train me to be a childbirth educator in the hospital setting.
I am a member of DONA, BirthWorkers of Central Ohio, and the Association of Christian Childbirth Professionals (see www.christianbirth.org).
