Welcome to Birth Well Doula

Saturday, December 15th, 2007

Welcome!  You have taken a crucial step in your birth journey by looking for a labor doula.  I have been helping birthing women from Atlanta and ITP neighborhoods since 2003.

I am now developing a group of in-town doulas, Decatur Doulas, to provide a way for more Atlanta women to find the birth support that every mother needs. Here you can read more about me, my services, prenatal & lactation nutrition, and read my birth blog.  Contact me for a consultation meeting.

A Mother’s Good Health

“You are what you eat” is never more true than when you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Now your baby is what you eat, too! Few women get sound nutritional counseling from their care providers. I had the fortunate experience of a midwife who put great emphasis on what I was eating… lots of lean protein, fruits, and vegetables. I took quality pre-natal vitamins and alfalfa tablets.  Consider what your are feeding your baby. Make good choices for the health of both of you!

Decatur Doulas

I am working on starting a doula group in Atlanta, GA, based in Decatur. My hope is to gather women working in childbirth for mutual support and to be of better service to improving the birth experiences of women in Atlanta, particularly in hospital birth. Please see my site, especially because this one won’t behave properly, at Decatur Doulas.
