Hi, there! I'm Betsy Weber (she/her). I began my birth work as a birth and postpartum doula back in 2009. The following year I moved to Oregon and worked as a midwife assistant. When my family relocated to the North Shore, I continued working as a midwife assistant until my second son was born in 2017. In all, I've attended over 70 home, birth center, and hospital births. I'm certified as a
DONA birth doula and an
infant massage specialist. I've received training as a DONA postpartum doula, ICEA Childbirth Educator, breastfeeding counselor, certified nurse assistant, placenta encapsulation specialist, infant massage instructor, and in neonatal resuscitation. I most recently completed the Cornerstone Advanced Full Spectrum Doula training and the Common Sense Childbirth Community Outreach Perinatal Educator. Parenting has been my life's greatest joy. But, as a new mom, I kept asking myself, "Shouldn't this be easier?" The Lake Bluff Doula is my answer to that question. I hope to make it easier for you!
