Hello! My name is Wendy. I am a Doula trained with Birth Arts International. I live in North Delaware and I am the proud mother of four wonderful children ranging in age from 15 to 8. Each one of my births was different and amazing. Including a beautiful and natural twin birth with a midwife in a hospital.
Since the birth of my oldest I knew that one day I would work towards becoming a Midwife, and that journey has started. I have been there for friends through the years as a labor coach. I have helped them prepare their birth plans and become truly informed about what type of birth they want and how to get it. I have been the go to girl for herbal remedies. In a way I have always been a Doula of sorts just never "practicing".
When my sister became pregnant with her first child she asked me to be her Doula. I was over joyed! It was a wonderful experience my sister was a strong amazing woman and I learned so much. This winter I again was able to be a doula for my sisters second child. The labor was different but just as amazing. It was then that I decided I wanted to provide other families that same comfort and guidance during labor and birth.
Birth is a beautiful time in a woman's life. I believe that the most important thing a doula can do is to serve the mother the way she needs to be served. Each mom will create the birth she desires. It is my job to help you have the experience that you want without judgment or criticism. I will help educate you so that you can choose the options that fit into your ideal birth plan. Different things work for different people, and every woman needs and deserves a doula. Let me support you in the way you choose to give birth.
