RESUME
The family unit is the fundamental unit of human society. I am a firm
believer that if things are well in the home, it trickles out to create a
world-wide effect of peace. There are many elements to creating that
loving home, but I have decided to aide in its beginnings.
Through emotional support, physical comfort measures, and non-biased
information, I believe I can help couples achieve a positive experience
in the birth of their little one, and therefore feel more empowered
and confident in their own abilities to raise and love that child to the
best of their abilities.
