Doulas Of North America (DONA)
Doula Association of Central Oklahoma (DACO)
Liz has been a birth doula since July 2001, earning her DONA certification in December 2004. She has one daughter, whose birth was an illustration of how calm birth can be! She is currently working towards her Masters of Public Health from Tulane.
As of mid-July 2007, Liz will be out the country for an extended period, finishing her Masters. Please direct doula enquiries to DONA or the Doula Association of Central Oklahoma for other local doulas.
Liz occasionally presents information on prenatal care and the delivery process. She has given this talk as a guest instructor in UCO Early Child Development classes and at prenatal classes for new mothers. The presentation itself (512KB) is here for reference.
