+1 for Cara Crowe - she's fantastic!

Cara Crowe was our doula and she was fabulous. She has a Doctor of Naturopathy and is a certified alternative medical practitioner (in addition to being DONA certified), which I also found reassuring. She is very knowledgeable, nurturing, and responsive, and was also great about working as a team with my husband and using great judgment about what to try when. Not to mention, she has four children of her own, which I think helps her have a good perspective on different births. She also teaches birthing from within classes, and you can find more information about her here, on her website: http://caracrowe.vpweb.com/default.html I cannot recommend her highly enough!

I've been doing pregnancy classes with Aza and love her. She is also a doula and student mid wife. I would HIGHLY suggest contacting her. 202.746.7801 or 202.688.1586 or support@nuwisdom.org
