West Chesterfield, New Hampshire
I believe in serving women to the best of my ability. I believe women's bodies were made to give birth. In most cases, when women are encouraged, nurtured, and given the care that is right for their particular circumstances, birth is a normal bodily function. I believe that birth is as much emotional and spiritual as it is physical. I also believe that birth belongs to women and families...not hospitals and physicians. Birth is not an illness. Yet, I am also grateful for the technology that we have in this day and age for the 15% of women who do not birth without complication.

Gaea Meola - "Mother Earth Birth Services"
Where: Morris County, NJ and surrounding areas
Description: ALACE Trained Birth Doula with a focus on natural childbirth, education and breastfeeding.
Comments: My name is Gaea and I am a birth doula. I accompany women in labor to help ensure a safe and satisfying birth experience. I can support you at your home and help you decide when to leave for the hospital (or assist at a home birth with a qualified midwife) or I can meet you at the hospital to act as a consultant and help your family/friends be your main support. I can be as unobtrusive or hands-on as you need.
I have completed my certification requirements through A.L.A.C.E. (Association of Labor Assistants and Childbirth Educators).
I have two beautiful children, both born at home with the assistance of two wonderful midwives and her amazing Daddy! In addition, I have read books relating to being a doula as well as on breastfeeding, pregnancy and child care.
I draw on my knowledge and experience to provide emotional support, physical comfort and, if needed, communication with the staff to make sure that you have the information you need to make informed decisions as they arise in labor. I can provide reassurance and perspective to you and your support people, make suggestions for labor progress, and help with relaxation, massage, positioning, and other techniques for comfort. I am an independent doula. As your doula, I am working for you, not your caregiver or the hospital.
I believe that you are in charge of your own birth and that I am the invited guest. I am there to serve you and to help you have the type of birth you have envisioned for yourself. In many cases, I act as support for the family support person/people and will in no way take over the main support role from those who will be involved in the child's life later. This is modified if I am the only support person, or if the laboring woman or family support asks me to step in. It is important that the family attempt the first communications with the staff - I will only step in if the parents are for some reason unable to speak to the medical staff.
