My desire to learn more was increased when I was given the opportunity to do a placement at a hospital where I assisted the staff with many of their non-medical duties. After building relationships with the doctors and nurses I worked alongside each day, I was invited to support a number of women during their experience of labour and delivery. It was awesome! This experience answered many questions I had about pregnancy and childbirth but it also began to develop something within me that I would later recognize to be one of my deepest passions.
In the years that followed, I continued to educate myself while I provided support to family and friends. My husband and I were blessed with the birth of our first son in the summer of 2003. Although I was extremely ill throughout my pregnancy and my birth experience was far from ideal, it provided me with a better understanding of the needs of expectant/new mothers and their partners. This new understanding prompted me to begin working toward developing myself as a Childbirth Professional. I set out to develop a business that would not only support expectant and new parents but also encourage families, and the community as a whole, toward balanced, informed and healthy lives. In early 2008, our family grew with the birth of our second son.
