Doulas In Training
A doula is valuable no matter the experience level she has. She has a vested interest in helping you achieve the birth you desire. We created this sub-page on our site to let you know about the doulas in training in our area. When they are just beginning, they can be an impassioned support for you and your spouse. Often though, they may require more paperwork from you, some other guidelines since they are still in training. They may need to make a phone call to get some advice at times. For this reason, sometimes they will offer a small discount for the inconvenience to you. It is best to keep in mind throughout the process of choosing a doula, in order to have the best client/doula connection, make sure finances are not the guiding factor, but you choose the person you connect well with.

Sharon Riley would love to encourage you through your pregnancy, labor and delivery. She and her husband, Matt, have been been happily married for 29 years, and they have six wonderful children ranging in age from 11 to 27. Over the years, she has instinctively nurtured friends, church family, new Moms, and family members with her servant's heart. When she discovered (very recently!) exactly what a doula was, she knew she had found the calling for her latter years. She has attended two DONA certified workshops and would be blessed and honored to help you discover the birth experience that you desire. Since the beginning of time, older women have come alongside their sisters, daughters, granddaughters, and friends, coaching them through the sometimes long, sometimes difficult, but always amazing, life-changing process called childbirth. Scientific studies have now proven what these women knew all along; that the bonds between family members are immensely enhanced and strengthened simply by having the encouragement and empathy of a loving doula throughout labor and delivery. Currently, she is working on becoming DONA certified so she is able to offer you an excellent discount and is working with Martha Artyomenko. Call or email her to schedule an informal consultation with no obligation. (406)261-2132, orsharonrileydoula@gmail.com.
