About Me
basic principles:
- Every woman has the innate intelligence to give birth.
- Optimal health wellness is maintained through the integrated balance of emotional, physical, and spiritual systems.
- Birthing and mothering practices that are healthy for mother-baby are also healthy for society as a whole.
GINGI ALLEN -Mother, Doula, Apprentice Midwife
I am a mother, doula, dancer, and apprentice midwife.
I consciously began my birth work with the pregnancy
of my first child in 2001. I felt empowered with knowledge,
and I had trust in my body to birth my baby. Through this
amazing journey, I was then honored to be of service
to other pregnant women in my community as their doula.
After the birth of my second child in 2006, I continued my
doula education at the Natural Birth Institute, where I
completed my doula training in 2007. As a full-time mother,
I called out to the women in my community and facilitated
women's monthly multigenerational wellness circles.
Soon finding myself surrounded by midwives, I was called
to the apprenticeship model of Midwifery in 2011, as it felt
like a natural progression of my current work in birth.
I believe full-hearedly in women's intuititve birthing nature and am here to encourage, support, and honor this wonderful process. I am thankful to be part of this journey.
My Services Include:
"We must look deep within ourselves and be self-confident so that we can handle change...
We must ask ourselves why we are really doing the things that we do"
