I'm embarking on a new journey - one of sharing my thoughts on birth. I have done this on an individual basis for the last 24 years. But now I would like to give more families encouragement and hope and lessen the fear of labor.
Are you ready to start this journey with me? This is your personal invitation.

A birth doula
Cyndi Whitwell has been working as a childbirth labor doula since 1986 and has assisted hundreds of families in their birth process. She is certified through The Academy of Certified Birth Educators & Labor Support Professionals and Doulas of North America. She works in the greater Sacramento, California region as far west as Davis and Woodland, and east to Roseville, Folsom and Placerville. She has attended births in over 18 medical facilities and homebirths.
The word "doula" comes from the ancient Greek meaning "a woman who serves" and is now used to refer to a trained and experienced professional who provides continuous physical, emotional and informational support to the mother before, during and just after birth; or who provides emotional and practical support during the postpartum period.
Studies have shown that when doulas attend birth, labors are shorter with fewer complications, babies are healthier and they breastfeed more easily.
