About DoulaDeb
I'm a mom of 5 wonderful children ranging in ages from 10-22. I've had a wide range of personal birth experiences from a c-section, to a natural hospital birth, to a home waterbirth.
My job is to assist laboring women, not to judge them!
I am happy to work with women in both hospital and home birth settings. I truly believe in a womens' right to choose the birth they want. My focus and passion is helping women experience homebirth and VBAC. I also work with mothers that are having a planned cesarean.
I live in Schiller Park, IL . I teach a variety of classes at various locations throughout Chicagoland. I will also offer classes and other services in the Old Irving Park neighborhood in Chicago and in the suburbs in Bensenville.
Please feel free to contact me for more information on any of my services or to conduct a no obligation meeting to determine if I am a good fit for you personally.
Professional Credentials :
I also work closely with ICAN (International Cesarean Awareness Network) and especially love working with women to experience a VBAC.
