They call me Doula Heidi.
Somewhere over the past 10 years of educating and supporting women, that nickname was affectionately given and it stuck. (Most know me as Heidi Duncan.) When my journey into the world of birth began in the mid 1990's, though, I thought it would be Midwife Heidi. I spent hours reading anything I could get my hands on about natural childbirth, especially enjoying online forums where professional midwives discussed their craft in detail. The belief that there was "a better way" than what my friends were experiencing in their hospital births fueled my passion to learn - and to teach. It didn't take long for me to realize that the educating process - making women aware of the many options available to them - was at the heart of it for me.
The first birth I witnessed was an "aha" moment. I knew from that day that I was called to this work. So I dove in. Over a 3-year period, I completed certifications as a Childbirth Educator, Perinatal Fitness Educator and Birth Doula. It wasn't until a few years into my career that I realized how very much I enjoyed being present at births, above and beyond teaching classes. Being a Birth Doula provides me the opportunity to marry my passions together: I spend hours with each client prenatally, customizing childbirth education to meet their needs; then I am by their side through their labor and birth, helping them implement all that they've learned and being blessed by the privilege of seeing the birth of their precious little one. It's a miracle every time!
Now I have been blessed once again by being given the opportunity to teach the fabulous Alpha Christ-Centered Childbirth Preparation curriculum. This class brings together the best of birth education, adds the missing component of faith and sprinkles the whole package with Holy Spirit-inspired wisdom and perspective. I am so thrilled to be included among the "Alpha ladies" and look forward to impacting many lives with this liberating, peace-filled approach to birth.
