Back-up Doulas

These are my back-up doulas. In event I become ill, attending another birth or by unforeseen circumstances can't get to your birth one of my back-up doulas will come to support you.

Heather Felker

Heather is a trained Babywearing Educator.  She has been doing the administrative work and leading meetings for Delmarva Babywearers since July 2009.  She also provides private consultations and classes through her local babywearing business.  Heather is a La Leche League Leader and as such has a special interest in the role that babywearing plays in a successful breastfeeding relationship. As the mom of seven children, she has many years of personal babywearing experience.  Heather desires to become a childbirth educator.

Heather serves as the back-up for my central Delaware clients.

Wendy Matthews

Since the birth of her oldest 14 years ago she knew that one day she would work towards becoming a Midwife.  Wendy has been helping friends through the years as a labor coach. She have helped them prepare their birth plans and become truly informed about what type of birth they want and how to get it. In a way she has always been a Doula of sorts just never "practicing".

When her sister became pregnant with her first child he asked Wendy to be her Doula - she was over joyed! It was then that she decided she wanted to provide other families that same comfort and guidance during labor and birth. Wendy trained with Birth Arts International in 2008.  Wendy serves as the back-up doula for my northern Delaware clients.
