Hi. I'm Abby Sumbler.
I'm a Certified Doula, Lamaze Certified Childbirth Educator,
and a Certified Lactation Counselor.
My Mission:
To provide support and education for birthing people to reach their birth goals.
Why I am a doula:
I am a doula because I've had great doulas. The doulas with the birth of my first child were supportive during a long pregnancy and labor. They reminded me of my own inner strength and helped me in a way no one else could.
The birth of my second child was by an unplanned C-section. I was glad my doula could be with me in recovery while my husband went with our son to the NICU.
Preparation is key:
Practicing breathing techniques and other comfort measures, writing a great Birth Preference Plan, using Spinning Babies techniques to help align baby in the pelvis. All of these things are important and I am happy to help my clients prepare for the birth they want to have and answer any other questions that may come up.
I love watching families grow and parents meet their babies!
