Meet Dorothy Haines Certified Birth Doula through DONA International Certified Childbirth Educator through Lamaze International Co-founder of Your Best Birth Dorothy's interest in becoming a doula began when she did labor support for a family member. With her prior knowledge of birth and pregnancy combined with specialized training and experience, she has the tools to help women and their partners achieve the birth they desire. Her previous clients have described her as compassionate, encouraging, knowledgeable, and caring, and Dorothy brings these qualities to the births she attends. Dorothy has five children, and has experienced a variety of different childbirth scenarios herself - including natural unmedicated birth at a birthing center (out of hospital), natural unmedicated birth in a hospital setting, a hospital birth with some interventions, and a high-risk pregnancy ending in a cesarean birth. She breastfed all of her children, and was involved in La Leche League for many years. Dorothy has undergone extensive training as both a doula and a childbirth educator and continues to expand her childbirth knowledge.. She is certified as a Birth Doula through DONA International, and is currently a member of the DONA Certification Committee, where she is involved in mentoring new doulas. She is also a certified childbirth educator with Lamaze International, widely considered "The Gold Standard" in childbirth education. Dorothy has been working as a doula since 2003 and has had the privilege of being a doula at over 50 births. When she is not working as a doula, Dorothy enjoys being a full-time mom to her five children, who range in age from six to nineteen. She is looking forward to helping you have an empowering and satisfying birth experience.
