Wendy Robertson, CLD, CBE
- "Wendyrful DOULA Services"
Huntsville, AL
Description: Doula, Childbirth Education, Lactation Education
My name is Wendy and I am a mother of five. I have been studying natural childbirth and birthing options for over nine years. I joined the Childbirth and Postpartum Professional Association (CAPPA) in 2001 when my family was stationed in Japan, and began their distance learning program for Doula Certification. I finished my certification as a Labor Doula here in Alabama with several hands-on training sessions, including Lactation Educator and Childbirth Educator classes. I have learned so much as well from attending women in labor as a doula, and from the births of my own five children. Helping a woman find her strength and power as she gives birth to her baby is a truly awesome experience, of which I am privileged to be a part. I am a member of Operation Special Delivery for spouses of personnel currently stationed overseas, and offer discounts to other military families.
I love helping pregnant and birthing mothers and families to have wonderful births. My philosophy is basically this: Read, Read, Read! Inform yourself, if you don't know what choices you have, then you don't have any choices.

Where: Anchorage, AK
Description: Certified Birth Doula
Comments: As a doula I accompany you during labor, taking care of your emotional needs throughout birth. I also provide support and suggestions for your partner that can enhance their experience of birth. How this applies to each woman can vary widely: some women want a gentle, reassuring presence at their birth to help them with breathing and comfort measures... others want a full-blown labor coach to enforce their birth plan... still others just want an extra person on hand to take pictures, coordinate relatives, watch kids and run errands. I don't go to births with any personal preconceived ideas of how it should play out; your birth plan is my birth plan. I am there to discover what your wants and needs are, then exceed them in every way possible.

Anna Freelove, CD - "By Your Side Doula"
Where: Los Angeles & San Fernando Valley
Description: Certified Birth Doula
Comments: I've had a passion for working with pregnant women and new moms for years. Several years ago I started seriously looking into what it would take to become a Certified Professional Midwife. In my research I discovered that most schools require that their students become Doulas first. I'd heard of Doulas but didn't know how to get into that line of work. This news started my research on how to become a Doula. Since training and becoming a Certified Doula through DONA I've decided to focus on being a doula and not continue in my training to become a midwife. I love the personal attention I am able to give to all of my clients. I love that I am able to focus on the mother and her emotional and physical needs. I'm blessed to be able to do what I love to do. It is such an honor and joy for me to be apart of such an amazing time in my clients lives. I love to say "I'm not just witnessing a baby being born, I'm truly watching a family being born!"

Description: Birth Doula
Comments: "However much we know about birth in general, we know nothing about a particular birth. We must let it unfold with its own uniqueness." - Elizabeth Noble Welcome to Artistic Birth Doula Services where you are the creator of your birth experience. Your pregnancy and childbirth are events that you will remember for a lifetime. You will replay the memories over and over again for the rest of your life. Now is the time to prepare your vision and do everything you can to make them what you hope to remember. Pregnancy and childbirth are a beautiful, yet uncertain, time in life. This is true whether this is your first baby or your tenth. You may not know where to start or even what you should be looking for. You may be fearful and seek guidance.
You may know exactly what you want but are unsure how to get it. You may just be looking for extra support.
I highly recommend reading "The Doula Advantage" by Rachel Gurevich if you would like complete information from parents who have had a Doula present at their birth. If you live in the Chicagoland area and are considering a Doula, you may be wondering how she can be beneficial to you and your partner.
Contact me with any questions. I look forward to speaking with you!
