~~~~~Rebecca Dundore ~ CLD ~~~~~
I first began to take an interest in childbirth as a small child. My mother had 4 home births and I didn't get to attend any of them, but I was there in the house (the oldest child) and I can remember pouring over each book and asking all kinds of questions. As an adult this went dormant until a friend of mine said she was going to become a doula - as she explained the idea I fell in love with it. It has been a growing passion of mine for more than 7 years now. I am now a wife and mother, and the desire to help women as they prepare for birth and give birth has only gotten stronger. The way a mother experiences birth impacts not only her feelings about herself and her baby, but even impacts her feelings about future children. A birth done gently, with respect and confidence is possibly the most beautiful thing to witness. Too many women today are being told to fear birth. This view of birth is not only inaccurate, but it takes away from the wonder of what a mom can accomplish. A woman's body is designed to birth well, it can be trusted to do the work well. In light of this truth, my job is to help moms trust and work with their own bodies...and find out just how far they can run that marathon of birth...to the end!!! I want all my moms to know they've accomplished something amazing and to be able to look back on their birth experience with joy and a feeling of satisfaction, knowing they did well! The emotional needs of a mother during labor are unique and intricate, I respect this and desire to work with each couple so that they can meet their own personal potentials. My certification comes from CAPPA - Childbirth And Postpartum Professional Association. I have also recieved training from DONA (Doulas Of North America). I am currently seeking ceritifcation as a Childbirth Educator through Birth Arts. Each of these trainings has been vital to my skills and perspective on birth. I have also attended several extended education classes:
