Personal Statement:
It's been my pleasure to teach childbirth classes for 24 years, and to train childbirth educators for 10 years. In addition to ALACE certification, I have two college degrees in childbirth anthropology. I'm a mother of three, and a grandma of two. Classes include healthy pregnancy, physiology of birth, a wide variety of tools for labor, responsible health care consumerism, newborn care, breastfeeding, and parenting.
