“Birthwork is my passion it is my soul’s work”
– Deanna Clark
I have been a birthworker since 2009 and it brings me so much joy to witness and guide women and their partners as they transition into parenthood and to help bring these precious little humans onto the planet.
The birth of my two sons required a lot of medical intervention and I questioned the way my first birth went. With my second I had a medical issue that required extra help. I was underprepared and did not know what questions to ask with both deliveries. My partner was scared for me and our babies. It is my goal to prevent any woman from feeling this way. I felt a victim to my caregivers and like I really had no say in anything.
Educating myself has been incredibly empowering. I am done having babies but I get to share this knowledge with the ones who find me. I get to make sure that they never feel disempowered during one of the most empowering moments of their lives.
My doula work has been a huge part of my own healing process. I’ve released all of the pain and disappointment I had and now I get to soak in all of the amazing love filled energy at the births I attend.
I am always learning more. My education includes the following:
- Lamaze Childbirth Educator
- Certified Lactation Educator and Counselor
- Body Ready Method
- Sierra Childbirth Institute and Doulas of North America trained Birth Doula
- Spinning Babies
