| My
name is Melissa. I work in the Dallas area as a Doula and
lactation support person. I have attended several births,
specializing in unmedicated childbirth. I am a mother of four
children, all of whom, were birthed without the need for
medication. I am knowledgeable and experienced in the gift of
breastfeeding, and am always available by phone to answer questions
at no charge. I have also breastfeed all of my children
exclusively.
I have worked in the
Skilled Nursing unit and Hospice care unit at Baylor University
Medical center, Dallas. I am working to obtain a degree in the
nursing profession. It is my heartfelt belief that childbirth
should, and CAN be a natural and fulfilling achievement for all
women.

| My
name is Elecia and I am a certified birth doula through DONA and a
Labor Support Specialist through Lamaze International. I am
currently in the childbirth educator program through Lamaze and hope
to be able to offer classes soon. I fell in love with
pregnancy and childbirth while preparing for the birth of my son in
2002. Since that time I have been attending births and
assisting moms and their families postpartum at a local birth
center. Please give me the opportunity to work with you and
your family to provide a safe and satisfying birth experience. |
