My name is Kristen Gibson. I am a certified doula and childbirth educator serving Roanoke and all surrounding areas. Personal: I am a homeschooling wife and mother of eight children. I have given birth six times in the hospital and twice at home with assistance of local midwives. I am a firm supporter of breastfeeding and have nursed each one of my children. Professional: I received my doula certification and childbirth education training through ALACE (Association of Labor Assistants and Childbirth Educators). I began attending births and teaching childbirth in February of 2006. Typically, I attend 1-3 births a month and teach 1-2 childbirth class series a month. I am experienced in supporting first time moms, subsequent moms, VBAC's (vaginal birth after cesareans), natural births and medicated births, and moms whose partners are unable to be present during the delivery. I have also attended mothers in both hospital births and homebirths. Currently, I serve as the breastfeeding and childbirth instructor for the Blue Ridge Women's Center. I am also a member of the local Roanoke Homebirth Meetup.
