If you are looking for a birth doula, she reccomends Erica Falk of Belly Button Birth (--> right) or all doulas from the San Francisco Doula Group.

Doula [ˈduːlə] - "One who mothers the mother..."

Main goals as a doula:

• Provide continuous physical and emotional support before, during, and after labor 
• Advocate for and ensure families are informed of their birthing choices and rights every step of the way
• Make contractions hurt less. The plain and simple truth!

Why "Nature Nurture Birth?"

To me, "Nature Nurture" reflects my philosophy that birth is a natural event that requires nurturing. This nurturing should begin before pregnancy and extend postpartum and throughout motherhood.
