Hello, my name is Rhonda Huggins. I am a married, home schooling, doula mom of two beautiful daughters. My entry into the “doula world” can almost be considered accidental. I was privileged to be at the birth of a close family member; I left the room a changed person. I knew upon leaving there that I had to do something to serve pregnant women and their families, it could not even be considered a desire, it was a need. My heart longed to nurture and care for families during this amazing process. After literally five sleepless nights and much on-line research, I discovered doulas and I knew this was to be part of my life. I am DONA trained and certified and have attended 60+ births since my journey began. I am now a certified childbirth educator, lactation counselor and am in the process of becoming a certified HypnoBirthing® practitioner. I will continue my education in order to meet the many needs of the childbearing family.
I feel my role as a doula begins before the birth, in helping parents to discover all of the options they have in how and where to have their babies. During the birth I provide physical comfort measures, emotional support & informational support. I strongly feel that if a mother feels nurtured, honored & respected during her labor and birth, she will reflect upon that memory happily. I also feel that the confidence she receives during the birth of her children will help empower her in her new role as mother. It is my goal to enhance the birth experience through education and support, to help the mother achieve the birth she desires and to nurture this new family. I would be honored to serve your family in this capacity; you can reach me at 407-474-9591 or via e-mail at deltonadoula@yahoo.com. you can also visit my web site at www.apositivebeginning.com Thank you!
