Over the past 31 years, I've had the honor of helping to launch and grow the doula movement in the Boston area, and throughout the US and Canada. For seven years starting in 1995, I was Assistant Director of ALACE (now ToLabor), the first national training program for doulas. During my tenure I was the organizer of trainings that resulted in the creation of approximately 2,000 doulas across North America. In 2009 I published “The Doula Guide to Birth” with Penguin Random House, which can be found in our local library system or requested at any bookstore. In 2022, I became the Director of Boston Doula Circle. Although I am not currently attending births, I support my doula team and all of our clients with their birth and postpartum needs, and I invite you to look at our website to learn about the amazing doulas we have available to support you. We would be honored to support your family!
