Lois Sannes  Birth Doula

Every mother deserves loving support for both her physical and emotional needs during labor and birth. As a DONA certified birth doula, I bring training, experience, and a loving heart to moms and babies during this special time and will work with her to have the birth she really wants for her and her family. I am the lucky mom of 3 grown children and 2 cute grandchildren.

Caylan Wagar  Birth Doula

HI!    I'm a doula through DONA.  I'm passionate about childbirth and of course those big beautiful pregnant bellies.  I have a daughter and am looking forward to having more with my husband.  I can't even fathom the miracle of life and how luck y we are as women to carry a baby.  Read Psalm 139:13-18 to grasp the beauty I think God intended pregnancy/motherhood to be, both inside and out of the womb.

Katie Boyd  Birth Doula - on maternity leave until Oct. 2008

I completed my  DONA training in April 2007 and am eager to dive into birthing work as a doula and maybe someday as a midwife.  I am deeply committed to women's issues and spirituality.  I believe that birth is a spiritual process that should be nurtured, as well as a natural process that all women deserve support with.  As a knitter, I understands well that many small patient steps can add up to a greater whole over time.

Amy Aebi  Birth Doula - on maternity leave until Nov. 2008

I am married and the mother of three boys who make my life very fun. The experience of giving birth to my children, all very unique and amazing events, set me on the path to supporting other women on their own childbirth journey. When I'm not immersed in all-things birth, I enjoy reading, writing, hiking and catching up on my favorite television shows.

Chelsea Ault  Birth Doula - on maternity leave caring for her second son born in Feb. 2008

Hi,   I am a DONA trained birth doula.    Ever since my first pregnancy, I can't seem to get enough of pregnancy and birth.  My own birth experience inspired me to be there for women in a supportive, compassionate, non-judging way throughout their pregnancy, birth and their transition into parenthood.  I feel truly blessed to be able to be a part of this sacred time in a woman's life.
