My name is Liz Mullins and
I am married to my best friend, Kevin, and we have two amazing sons. I discovered my passion for birth after my first son was born. After much
investigating and reading I attended my first birth as a doula in July 03' and decided to take the DONA International
birth doula training in the fall of 03'. My second son was born February 04' and that was a doula supported birth and a
wonderful and empowering experience. I am now certified as a birth doula.

I have been
very active in the birth community since early 2005 (once my youngest
weaned!) and have attended births
at both of our city's hospitals as well as the hospital in Amherst, NS . I am also part of a consumer group working
towards having midwives available and funded in our province because if
women knew what they were missing without the women centered care of
midwives, they would be kicking and screaming for that choice.
That's what it's all about, ladies-choices!
I believe birth is about more than delivering a child...it is the transition to a new or expanded family and an experience that
can be very empowering. Women are realizing that there are many options available to them and I enjoy helping families
establish and realize their wishes.
I serve Moncton and the surrounding areas (Sussex, Sackville etc.)
There is power
that comes to women when they give birth. They don’t ask for it, it
simply invades them. Accumulates like clouds on the horizon and passes
through, carrying the child with it. -Sheryl Feldman
