Other Birth Doulas
Kirsten Lane, Midwife and Birth Doula:  Kirsten has been providing birth services for the last five years.  After completing her MPP at the University of Massachusetts she gave birth to her first child with the assistance of certified nurse-midwives.  She went on to have a homebirth with her second child. She has completed Stepping Stones to Midwifery with BJ MacKinnon, CNM, CPM as well as Barefoot Midwifery/Hands of Light Traditional Midwifery Program.  From 2002 - 2006 she maintained a busy birth doula pactice and has attended more than 100 births in local hospitals. She still attends births as a doula where her midwifery schedule allows.  She apprenticed with Sacred Birth Midwifery from the fall of 2004 - October 2006.  In October 2006 she completed a clinical intensive in Belize through the Arizona Midwifery Institute and upon returning joined Sacred Birth Midwifery as a primary midwife/partner.
