~My name is Rachel and I am currently a volunteer birth doula, working on my certification in the Birth Arts International Birth Doula Program and the DONA International Birth Doula Program. I received my Bachelors degree in Biology, from Wheaton College, MA in May 2016. After discovering the care and love that certified nurse-midwives give to their patients and communities, I decided that the career path of nurse-midwifery was for me! Therefore, I became a birth doula to further learn and witness the power of birth and birthing individuals, before applying to graduate school to become a nurse-midwife.~
