My name is Christy Parish and I am a Doula and also a proud Military Spouse. We just moved from Germany to Stafford, Virginia in November 2008. I am available for Labor Support at the local hospitals, birthing centers, or in your home. I am also available to provide Prenatal and Postpartum Support for you and your family. My love for birth started before I ever even had children and I have always been fascinated by the whole process. I loved being pregnant and enjoyed the |

experience that I had with my own births, but I know now that I would have really enjoyed the help of a doula. In 2002, I worked in Labor and Delivery at an Army Hospital in Germany as a Med Tech. As a Tech, I provided the support of a Doula and much more. This is where I first learned about Doulas and fell more in love with the whole birth process. In 2004, I completed a DONA Doula training course and requirements. In 2005, I was a doula at a hospital in New Mexico for 7 months before returning to Germany. Once back Germany, I worked as a private Doula for the military families in the area. In this total time period, I have attended over 70 special birthdays.
In addition to my Doula training and L&D experience, I am a mother of two and have EMT and Medical Assistant training with 7 years of experience. I have 3 years experience in home daycare and have training in breastfeeding, childcare, and child development.
As a Doula, I do not preform medical duties. Please feel free to contact me for more information. I look forward to assisting the parents of Northern Virginia with my knowledge, skills, and heart to help them achieve a safe and satisfying birth experience!
*Having a doula to assit during childbirth is highly reccomended by healthcare professionals, mothers, fathers or birth partners, no matter how much support you may have. Enlisting the services of a doula would also be a great recommendation for mother's who's spouses or partners are deployed, or if you are a single parent.
