Lindsey Meehleis-Matthews is a Certified Doula (DONA), Certified Childbirth Educator, International Board Certified Lactation Consultant, Prenatal Yoga Teacher, & Midwife in Orange County, CA.
Here's Lindsey's birth philosophy: I believe that birth is a profound rite of passage that every woman should be able to experience with being surrounded by options, love, and support. But all and all, I think Gerri Ryan states this best, "Deep within every woman is the ability to birth. When she has confidence in her own abilities, the encouragement and freedom to tap into her innate wisdom, and has the loving support of family, friends and professionals who believe this too, she will truly have a satisfying birth experience."
