About Doris
|
I have been a mother for the past
32 years of four wonderful and successful children and
have loved each moment. As my children began to leave
for college, my life seamlessly flowed into the next chapter.
I was called upon by the twin daughters of a close friend
who had opened a wellness center in Seal Beach, CA. They
expressed their concern for birthing mothers in need of
postpartum help. This seemed like the perfect fit as I
had spend many years mentoring young mothers, opening
my home to them and sharing my parenting style and philosophies.
In essence, I had been a doula many years before knowing
what a doula was.

After careful consideration I
decided to take the DONA doula training in April of 2004.
It has been my joy to help countless families minimize
the stress during the postpartum transition period, increase
the entire family’s sense of peace and connection and
help mothers realize and embrace their ability with breastfeeding
and parenting goals.

Philosophy
|
|
I believe in providing caring,
knowledgeable, support and information in a non-judgmental manner.
Equally important is my desire to make my clients feel emotionally
comfortable, prepared and confident to be the leaders of their
families. I believe that supporting families will empower them
and therefore create stronger, healthier babies and communities.
Above all, I believe that parents instinctively know what is in
the best interest of their child and I will support their decisions
on how to care for their child.
