Kiernan CD My work as a doula begins long before the onset of labor. During prenatal meetings I work to answer questions, offer non-biased information, talk about birth preferences, write birth plans, discuss and work through fears and anxiety, and basically get to know my clients and what they want out of the birthing experience. As a doula I do not make decisions for my clients, but act as an advocate. I provide emotional and physical support. During labor I offer words of encouragement, massage, guided imagery, advice on position changes, and support and advice for the birthing partner. I respect any choices you make, and help advocate for you, to help bring those ideas to fruition. I am experienced in both hospital and home birth environments. I also will visit you during the postpartum period to ease the transition into motherhood, talk about your birthing experience, help with breastfeeding issues, do some laundry etc. I have been involved in the field for six years now. I am the mother of two children and I live in Dutchess County. I have a B.A. in Human Ecology, and was a certified teacher. Until recently, I was a Resident Manager, working with pregnant and parenting young women at a non-profit organization.
I am willing to travel outside of the
county for clients.
