Helpful tips: How to choose the best service provider for you

Deanna

Dawson Jesus

My birthing philosophy is simple; “Your Birth, Your Way.” I have been practicing as a Birth Doula and Childbirth Educator for 19 years. I was certified as a Birth Doula (by both DONA and CAPPA) in 2001; and is currently re-certifying with DONA. I am a Certified Lactation Educator with UCLA, and has been a HypnoBirthing Practitioner. I have additional extensive training in Assisted Reproductive Technologies, VBAC support and Perinatal Loss Support.
