Louise Monteith - Infant Wisdom - Birth Doula
Louise Monteith is the mother of three children -- two born naturally in a hospital setting and one born at home in early 2006. The birth of her first child, a son, was the most profound and empowering of her life and since then, childbirth has been her passion. Louise is a labor doula certified through DONA and CAPPA and believes that attending birth as a doula is an honor and privilege. "The birth of a child is always a miracle and I continue to be awestruck by the life-giving power of women. Being a doula is an amazing way to help women realize how strong they really are."
Louise is also a CAPPA-certified childbirth educator and has a degree in education.
As a member of La Leche League, she believes strongly in the benefits and bond created through breastfeeding. When her first son was a nursling, Louise was working full-time, so she pumped daily and understands those struggles.
Louise makes beautiful baby slings that can be used to carry children from birth through toddler-hood. Her slings are available for sale at Eat Sleep Play in Summerville and on her website.

Mandy Reimer - Birth Doula, Registered Nurse & Massage Therapist
Mandy Reimer's passion for helping women have the birth they desire stems from her own experiences in childbirth. As a mother of three with 2 hospital births and a homebirth, she has experienced labor with and without a doula's assistance. "What a tremendous difference it was having someone there whose sole purpose was to assist and advocate for me. I was able to have the natural birth I had wanted so deeply and allow my daughter entrance to this world drug-free and alert."
Having had such an experience deepened her desire to assist other childbearing women. "I want women to know their options and know that I am there to support their decisions. Childbirth is such a deep psychological experience and needs to be held in such a regard as that it profoundly affects a women's feelings of herself and competency as a parent." Mandy is a DONA trained birth and postpartum doula, a Certified Holistic Doula with La Matrona, and La Leche League Leader. Mandy is also a Licensed Massage Therapist specializing in pre-natal, labor, and postpartum massage.
