Janel's web site

[Guest guest]

Janel: Good to hear from you on this site. I am a postpartum doula/lactation

consultant in Portland, OR. I too am excited looking at your web site. Your

links tell a lot about you and your philosophy. Wondrous Beginnings,

castellino, APPPAH, et al. An article I wrote for Mothering Magazine will be

published in the APPPAH Journal of Prenatal Perinatal Psychology and Health,

winter issue.

You might want to go to Karen Strange's web site. she is currently training

under these people and you would find her to be a kindred spirit, I think.

She teaches neonatal resuscitation to midwives and other birth

professionals. For instance, one thing she abhors use of the suction bulb.

Lots to say about everything birth. Vicky

> My bias toward most chiro, cst, and osteopathic work -- and anything

> recognize and acknowledge the EXPERIENCE that causes the physical

> restriction. I bet your work does that more than most. Most women and

> Yeah, your site is at the top of my list ......your previous homepage
