About Me

Thank you so much for your interest in our services! Mother’s Care welcomes the opportunity to be a positive aspect of your maternity experience.

We have provided quality emotional and physical care to many mothers, fathers and loved ones as they’ve birthed their babies into the world. We also have the privilege of caring for those families in the days following their births. As a matter of fact, we have had the joy of introducing many babies to their first real meal, breast milk! Now that’s quite an honor.
So what is a DOULA anyways? The word "doula" is a greek word that has come to mean, a certified and "experienced woman that helps another woman". When and how do we help? During your pregnancy, labor, birth and postpartum. Mother's Cares reputation and experience has opened doors for us to work with wonderful doctors, nurses and families.
Mother’s Care is the only doula or maternity service ever to be named the Preferred Doula Company to the Memorial Heathcare Systems of Broward (Memorial West, Miramar and Regional), the North Broward Hospitals (Broward General, Coral Springs Medical) and to Mt. Sinai Medical Center. Trust us, this an honorable title that we’ve worked hard for and take very seriously.
And, we received the South Florida Parenting’s Kid’s Choice Award by association with Memorial Hospital West as the best place to give birth in Broward county for 2004-2005! As well as the South Florida Parenting Kid's Choice Award for "Best Doula Service" in 2006 - 2007!
..
Our corporate headquarters, the Wellness Center in the Pines, is located in Pembroke Pines, FL. Because we are centrally located between Miami, Ft. Lauderdale and Palm Beach counties, we serve all hospitals and families in the tri-county area from Homestead to Boca Raton.

My Interests

Ride the wave of each surge (contraction)

"There is a Rhythm to Every Labor... As in sailing there are conditions you can change and those that are beyond your direction. The wind and waves we cannot control, but we can trim our sails to ride with these conditions. when trimmed right, the boat functions beautifully, is speedier and less rocky. But when not trimmed properly, the boat is out of harmony with the forces of nature. The ride is slower, uncomfortable. Also like in birth, a rough ride and slower progress is a signal that we need to trim the sails, shift the weight, change sails and so forth. Then we're in the groove again." Adapted from "The Birth Book" by Dr. and Mrs. Sears.

THE AMAZING JOURNEY OF A NEWBORN

I'd like to meet:

More women who take control of their birthing process with knowledge and confidence. More women who arm themselves with information and make decisions based on truth and not fear.

Women who are not afraid of birth but have a sacred respect for it. Women who want to birth their babies in love, trust, and joy instead of fear, worry, and pain.
Men, nurses, doctors and other health care providers that support NORMAL BIRTH. Health care providers who stop treating woman like they are sick and recognize just how healthy a laboring woman is and how powerful.

This video was created by a great young artist and one of my dearest friends for her new baby girl. It inspired me and I hope that it will inspire all you new mommies out there....celebrate the coming of your new life in your own expressive way!

Right now we are LOVING: "What Babies Want" DVD/VHS
This video, narrated by Noah Wyle (ER), takes you on an amazing journey into the mind of a newborn baby. It dives into subjects such as bonding, infant/maternal separation, medical interventions and its effects on infants, and so much more. Its great for Childbirth Educators and ESPECIALLY great for new parents.

Television:

We HIGHLY suggest that you stay AWAY from "A Baby Story!". Get your birth information and encouragement from the experts not from reality TV.
Need another good reason to stay away from mainstream "birth images"? Cause THIS is how they see it...Some "miracle" huh?
And yet...some things are too funny NOT to post....this is "natural childbirth" from a MAN's perspective....lol
