In addition to being a childbirth doula, I am also a poet and a writer. Feel free to visit my poetry home, Sanctuary Poet ... check out my latest collections of birth poems, Epiphany and Transfiguration ... or visit my blog, Christian Doula Thoughts.
Jane's Professional Organizations:
I am a childbirth doula through DONA (Doulas of North America), a childbirth educator through BirthWorks International, and a lactation counselor through Lactation Education Consultants. I have received additional training from ALACE/TOLABOR and Mercy in Action that has aided me in assisting midwives. In addition, I often write for Midwifery Today magazine.
