Tell us about the birth climate in your area.
The best thing about this area is all the support services and providers- e.g. doulas, chiropractors, etc that support pregnancy and birth. I do wish we had more birth options- in-hospital birth centers, out of hospital birth centers.

Why get involved in ICAN?
I found out about ICAN when looking for resources and support for my VBAC. I’m excited to help other women the way ICAN has helped me! I wish people knew what a passionate and knowledgeable group of women make up ICAN. I believe that not enough women have enough info about cesarean and VBAC issues which is what is leading to the high C-section rates.

Please share a little about yourself.
I have lived in Los Angeles most of my life. I have been married for almost 10 years and have 3 wonderful children. I have a BA and MA from Stanford University and I am an educator working in an independent study charter school. I have been involved in volunteering with causes close to my heart for many years. I enjoy spending time with my family, baking, and yoga. My friends would describe me as friendly, passionate, strong, and determined – someone who is always up to fight the good fight!

Next meeting?
