About Me
I am the mother of four beautiful children, a daughter age 6, a daughter age 3, a son age 2, and a daughter in Heaven who was born on February 27, 2008 and died on April 5, 2008 from SUIDS. I am a labor/postpartum doula and teach childbirth education and lactation support. I am studying to be a midwife, although I'm currently considering changing my career though.
