Mary Hoffmann CD(DONA)'s Blurbs |
About me:
My name is Mary Hoffmann and I am a DONA certified birth doula in Lexington, Ky. I have a little boy named Milo, who was born in December of 2005. I work in a local bookstore, but mostly I hang out with Milo.
I am a birth junkie. Its an addiction. I've gone broke buying all the books, magazines, and videos I can get my hands on. I am truly fascinated with the entire process from pregnancy to birth to breastfeeding to parenting. I have my opinions and I'd love to hear your's. I will post blogs with my personal info and articles that I find interesting and informative. One important note on that subject: Although I have my personal beliefs on these subjects, as a doula, my intent is to support YOUR choices, not push my ideas on you. I will give my opinion WHEN ASKED, but it is YOUR experience and what was right for me, may not be right for you. I will support your choices.
This layout was handmade with love by the folks at My space or yours? Go get one!

Who I'd like to meet:
Parents-to-be, new parents, doulas, midwives, breastfeeding mothers, and anyone else that has an interest in pregnancy, birth, breastfeeding, and babies.
