A little about me:
I took early retirement in January 2007 after working in public
health education for 30 years. I have taught childbirth and
parenting education classes for 23 years and now teach my
childbirth education class for Mission Hospital.
I am passionate about birth, have been supporting women in
labor for 20 years and have been a DONA approved doula
trainer for over 8 years. I was originally trained as a doula and
doula trainer by Penny Simkin, author, doula, childbirth educator
and DONA founder.
I coordinated the 2002 and 2004 Asheville Birth Conferences,
coordinated Buncombe County Health Center's volunteer doula
program for 15 years and coordinated maternal health education
at the Buncombe County Health Center for 22 years. I retired
from the Buncombe County Health Center in Asheville NC after
26 great years!
I am a founder and active member of DAMA (Doula Association
of the Mountain Area) at www.wncdoulas.com. the current
President elect and a DONA certified doula and doula trainer. I
am also an ICEA certified childbirth educator and the NC
DONA State Rep.
My husband and I have been married for 32 years and have two
adult daughters. Above is a picture of my family taken at So.
Padre Island, Texas while visiting my younger daughter when
she worked as an RN with Holy Family Birth Center. She
worked there in So. Texas for a year, as an Ameri-Corps
volunteer, www.holyfamilybirthcenter.com. She is now
employed as a labor and delivery nurse with Mission Hospital.
My goal is to help bring babies into the world in a safe and
peaceful manner. And to help parents create a peaceful and
loving family environment!
All the best, Cheryl
