Meet Janet
My experience in the pregnancy and birth field spans over 30 years! My passion began with the births of my own children and grew as I began working in 1987 as a Midwife's birth assistant. This is where I received my initial training and experience in supporting women in childbirth. I continued furthering my education, certifying as a Childbirth Instructor, Doula and Breastfeeding Specialist. I now mentor other Doulas as a Doula Trainer with Birth Boot Camp Doulas.
I have been married to my hubby for 36 years and we live in the Lake Wales area of Polk County, Florida. I am the proud mother of three children and Gran to nine grandchildren. I have attended numerous births in all settings: hospital, birth center and home birth. I especially love teaching classes because I see the excitement and assurance it brings to the mom and her partner as they prepare for the birth of their child.
As a doula and childbirth educator, I embrace the mindset that it's "Your Birth, Your Journey". I have a passion for helping families plan for an amazing birth and postpartum period - whatever that means for YOU. My mission through Bellies-2-Babies is to provide professional birth education, doula services and breastfeeding support along with encouragement, referrals, and physical assistance with consistent non-biased support.
I will fully support your birth and parenting choices and I welcome the opportunity to walk this path with your family. Let's connect - I will fully listen to learn how I can best support you!
