Deb the Doula | Hampton Roads Community Spotlight

9/14/2022

0 Comments

 
Deborahnica is a newly trained doula, who as of the time of this interview is still awaiting full certification (through DONA International) as a doula and is needing certification births to complete her training. She is also CPR certified and Infant CPR certified. 
She is kind, energetic, and passionate about mothers and babies. She saw a need in the community for compassionate and holistic minded birth supporters and has worked tirelessly to attain her certifications while also serving in the United States Air Force.  She even earned the Military Outstanding Volunteer Service Medal. She also earned the Levitow Award at her Airman Leadership School. 
She would really like to work in Michigan with mothers needing extra support and  to serve lower income areas. She wants to empower women by giving them gentle support, knowledge, and helping them as they transition into motherhood. 
She says what separates her from others is her compassion. I can tell you, from talking to her and having coffee with her, she is so incredibly excited to start working in the field. My gut tells me that she just wants to make a difference in the world. 
Deborahnica also mentioned that she will be certified as a full spectrum doula, meaning that she will be able to support families through all stages of pregnancy including birth, postpartum, miscarriage, or adoption.

If you were to ask my personal opinion, I think having a doula, especially a post partum doula, would be an invaluable service. 
To get in touch with Deb, you can contact her by emailing her at debthedoula01@gmail.com
