our Lucina doula TEAM
Jennifer Balk - "Being a doula has been a marriage of my two life's passions,
nursing and mothering.  I have raised two boys who are now young men and I
have served as a nurse for many years.  By using these experiences, I hope to
provide a loving, supportive environment during birth, so the birth partner can
focus their full attention on loving the mother."
Linda Mucci - "My passion for childbirth is the reason that I am now pursuing
my second career as a doula.  For over twenty years I have worked as a
secretary in a local middle school.  I am a mother of two grown daughters, Kim
and Kristen, who encourage and support my new endeavor.  I hope to be a
source of strength and comfort for my clients as I help them to create one of the
most beautiful, memorable days of their lives."
Jayne Knips - "For over thirty years I have taught on both the elementary and
middle school levels.  Becoming a doula has enhanced my life as a woman.  
The next best thing to giving birth myself is to be a birth doula, assisting and
nurturing other moms/dads throughout the birthing process.  Having mothered
three adult children, my present role as a doula is to mother other mothers.  I
love what I do as a doula.  It's not a job; it's my passion and privilege!"
