Dawn Bouchard, CD(DONA)
Here is a little bit about me. (And just to let you know Grandma's make great doulas!) I spent 12 years in the military and am the proud wife of a retired Coast Guardsman. I am the mother of two wonderful children.
I have 3 grandchildren, twin grandsons born in June of 2005 and a beautiful granddaughter born in April 2005. And I am lucky to have them all close! I share my home with my husband, my granddaughter, and a wonderful little Blue Heeler named Sophie. I have many hobbies: I do bead weaving, quilting, sewing, cross stitch, creative writing, crocheting, reading and many other crafts. Whatever strikes me at the moment and sounds fun. I became passionate about birth after attending the birth of my granddaughter.
I completed my birth doula training at Bates Technical College in Tacoma, Washington and have received my certification through DONA International. I am currently undergoing training as an ante-partum doula.
While I have attended births at different hospitals and homes the majority of the births I have attended are at Madigan Army Medical Center at Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Tacoma. After many years as a military wife I have a passion for helping military families.
