As an independent certified educator I facilitate all workshops from the perspective of birth as normal and healthy. An independent educator focuses on evidence based information without the pressure of complying with a particular hospitals policies or procedures. As a result clients are free to make informed decisions based on up-to-date research being presented in a small group setting.
