 Loralee Pendergast (Lori), CCE, BWI 

I am a certified childbirth educator with Birth Works International. I have birth doula training through DONA (Doulas of North America) and am in the process of getting my birth doula certification through Childbirth International. I am also certified in infant, child, and adult CPR/AED and first aid through the Red Cross. I am a member of DONA, BirthMattersVA, and International Cesarean Awareness Network (ICAN) and several online birth communities.

 

I have given birth to four children and also have over six years of personal breastfeeding experience.

 

After having such an empowering birth experience with the birth of my first child in 1998, I became interested in helping other pregnant women experience the same. I feel that women already know how to give birth,

so I help women discover their own abilities

and support them in whatever birth choices they make.

 

It is an honor for me to be able to offer my guidance to pregnant women and couples and to be a part of this miracle of life!

 

 

Jodi Moore, CD(DONA)

I am a certified doula through DONA (Doulas of North America). I am also certified in infant, child, and adult CPR/AED and first aid through the Red Cross. I am a member of DONA, BirthMattersVA, and International Cesarean Awareness Network (ICAN) and several online birth communities.

 

I am a mother of two wonderful children, ages 3 and 5 with whom I have been able to stay at home with for the past five years. I am active in my childrens' schools, playgroups and mom's clubs.

 

After having a rough first birth, I decided to have a doula for my second birth and my birth experience with the doula was very empowering and positive. I felt that I wanted to help others in the same way so I became a doula myself.

 

When not with my children, I enjoy helping other families have positive birth experiences, whatever that may be for them.
