            The family unit is the fundamental unit of human society.  I am a firm

            believer that if things are well in the home, it trickles out to create a

            world-wide effect of peace.  There are many elements to creating that

            loving home, but I have decided to aide in the beginning of that family.

            Through emotional support, physical comfort measures, and non-biased

            information,  I believe I can help couples achieve a positive experience

            in the birth of their little one, and therefore feel more empowered

            and confident in their own abilities to raise and love that child to the

            best of their abilities.
