Trina Williams, Doula

As a doula, my goal is to support the birthing mother and the family as they start a new chapter in their lives. I do this by supporting their vision for their birth and to help them to feel confident and reassured both physically and emotionally and by providing them information to a variety of resources. I have been a doula since December 2015. I trained with International Center for Traditional Childbearing (ICTC) in Portland, Ore. As a Full Circle Doula, the Bastyr University Simkin Center for Allied Birth Vocations in Kenmore, WA as a Birth Doula, and with Open Arms Perinatal Services in their training to become a Community Doula Trainer. I am also a Certified Massage Therapist through Atlanta School of Massage in Atlanta, Ga., and studied under Emi Yamasaki McLaughlin, LM, CPM, MSM at Journey Midwife Services as a student-midwife. I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology from Georgia State University and I am currently a nursing student at Louisiana State University Health and Science Center-New Orleans. My focus is Labor and Delivery and to continue my education to become a Nurse-Midwife. In my leisure time, I enjoy genealogy/family research, volunteering in a variety of communities, exercising, traveling, and shopping. Rate: $3000
