Welcome to Beautiful Births! Please note that I am NOT ACCEPTING private clients for labor or postpartum doula services due to other commitments. I do accept clients for private childbirth education classes and for belly casting. Thank you for your understanding. From 2002- fall 2006, I regularly offered childbirth education classes, labor and postpartum doula services, lactation education support, belly casting and perinatal consulting in the Washington DC metro area. I also offered postpartum doula trainings in the Maryland suburbs of the DC metro area, and was available to travel to other areas as well. I am certified as a labor doula through 2 different organizations - Doulas of North America (DONA) and BirthWorks. I am certified as a childbirth educator through BirthWorks. I am a certified postpartum doula, certified postpartum doula trainer and certified lactation educator with Childbirth and Postpartum Professionals Association (CAPPA). Please email me for details. I am a candidate for the International Board Certified Lactation Consultant exam that will be held in July 2007. If you are looking for Beautiful Births in California please visit beautifulbirths.com
