It is an honor…

I first became involved with ICAN after the birth of my oldest son. I had a traumatic, unplanned cesarean. ICAN was incredibly supportive during my healing process and preparation for the birth of my second son, a homebirth after cesarean. It is an honor to support, educate, and empower people on their own journey.

Father of 3

Being a father of 3 boys, I have seen first hand the lack of care and the lack of information that is available to new mothers. I value the opportunity to educate and empower mothers on the birth process and be a resource for them to achieve the birth that they WANT!

More than one good way…

I believe that each labor and birth is a unique and miraculous experience. I also believe that there is more than one good way to have a baby and that parents should have the proper tools available for informed consent and informed refusal.

Zuver

Childbirth Education, Doula, Yoga

Address

Miami, FL 33134
USA

Hello, my name is Payton.

I am a birth doula, prenatal yoga teacher, and mama currently residing in Miami, Florida.

I discovered my love for yoga over a decade ago and immediately knew I wanted to share the healing power of this ancient wisdom with others. My passion for birth work came much later, in 2020 when I was pregnant with my son. You can read all about my birth story on my blog, but suffice it to say here, it was a traumatic one that ultimately ended in an unplanned cesarean. After this experience, I continued teaching yoga, but found that the only topic I wanted to teach on, write about, or share with anyone was childbirth. It became something so fundamentally important to me that I knew it was my calling. While I am eager to support all birthing people, I am especially interested in helping people like me- who have had traumatic birth experiences and need the extra support to process and have a healing experience the next time around, especially those choosing VBAC and home birth.

My personal mission is to empower birthing people to have the pregnancy and birth experience they want, release preconceptions and fears, and gain confidence in their innate abilities.

Berquist

Advocate, Childbirth Education, Doula, Evidence Based Birth® Instructor, Home Birth

Address

Long Beach, CA 90803
USA

I'm Lia (she/her), a certified doula and childbirth educator working in Southern California since 2011. My first baby was born in 1998 and ever since, birth has been my passion: guiding, coaching, supporting, championing folks through pregnancy and labor. Both of my babies were born vaginally, unmedicated, but I'm a c-section baby (whose mother went on to have 2 HBACs) and VBAC is my specialty. I know first hand the impact of an unnecessary c-section and how familial attitudes toward birth can change the world. Let's do this.
