ANGELA DANIEL, INSTRUCTOR
Angela Daniel, mother of a toddler, is completing her birth doula certification through Doulas of North America
(DONA).
When planning to start a family Angela began attending the Exceptional
Birthing Group sponsored by Birth Help and has made several lasting
connections to other birthing women and birth professionals in the
community. She began pursuing doula training and certification after
having Rene’ as her doula during her beautiful, challenging labor and
birth of her first child. Angela is passionate about
working with women and families to meet their childbirth goals and
providing post- partum support and encouragement. She chose to go
beyond the DONA certification requirements to participate in Birth
Help's apprenticeship program which is contributing to her knowledge and
experience surrounding labor and birth. Upon completion of her DONA
certification including required readings, essays, and DONA workshop
attendance, she will have attended 25 births.
With a Masters of
Social Work, Angela has combined her passion and career to encompass
helping birthing and new families. Her background is rich in direct
service work and advocacy on behalf of women and children. Her training
and experience prepare her well to work with women and families during
labor and birth.
