About your Doula

Hello. I am Debra. I am a wife, mother of six children, grandmother of nine and great grandma of two. I love family. I have worked with families professionally for over 42 years. In my own journey I have earn my Birth and Postpartum certification, Childbirth Educator Certification, Lactation Certification, Prenatal Yoga Certification and Perinatal Mental Health Certification. In addition, I have earned an Associate of Arts, Bachelor of Social Work and Master of Art in Counseling, plus many other certificates. My vision is to continue to provide assistance to families, and helping parents, new mothers or mothers that are expecting again.

I recall times during past pregnancy of having weird thoughts, wanting to talk about my feelings and experiences of pregnancy but had no one who really understood, of course my mom was around and talked to me as a mom and with love; if you know what I mean. However, a lot was left out. But my birthing experiences were very special.

My doula experiences before becoming a Certified Doula were assisting my daughter in laws, my daughter, niece and friends through their pregnancy and labor experience that was amazing and memorable.

At Nurturing Doula Care, LLC, I am passionate about providing educational and nurturing care for expectant parents. I am here as a trusted and dedicated doula, here to support you every step of the way. My goal is to educate, guide you through your birth plan from the time we meet to the birth of your beautiful baby.

I understand that this is an incredibly special time in your life, and I want to make sure you feel confident and empowered. I am a great listener and provide personalized care tailored to your specific needs. You and I will meet during your prenatal stage as needed, preparing mentally and physically and developing plans the way you will like your birthing process to go.

With Nurturing Doula Care, LLC, you can trust that your journey to parenthood will be filled with evidence-base information, resources, compassion, and support. Let me help you create precious memories and ensure a positive birth experience. Your story should be special with your new addition; you deserve the best possible beginning!!
