Certifications:
I am a certified Hypnobabies Childbirth Hypnosis Instructor (HCHI), a DONA (Doula of North America)
certified Doula, a certified Hypnobabies Hypno-doula and a certified Happiest Baby on the
Block Educator.
What I Do:
I provide ongoing classes teaching the Hypnobabies 5 week/15 hour complete
childbirth education course in Coronado, CA. Hypnosis for childbirth is a method of
childbirth that uses self-hypnosis techniques that eliminate pain and fear from the birth
experience, resulting in a gentle birthing.
As a Doula, I provide Hypno-doula services for those who have completed the Hypnobabies
childbirth classes as well as traditional Doula services. Through UCSD Medical
Center, I volunteer services as a doula in the "Hearts and Hands" Program.
For new parents, I offer 4th Trimester Classes. These classes
include instruction in the use of the Happiest Baby on the Block techniques to quiet even
the fussiest crying baby, and Dunstan Baby Language to interpret the sounds and cries of
your baby.
My previous experience:
Director, Waverly Montessori School, Wyncote, PA
Manager, Northern California MediCal Service Department
Director and Caregiver, Hospice Programs, PA and VA
Service on numerous boards, including Childbirth Education of Philadelphia
