Welcome!
As a childbirth educator and a doula, I know there
are many questions surrounding pregnancy,
labor and birth. I provide childbirth education (classes) and professional labor assistance (doula)
throughout the Los Angeles basin, Inland Empire and Orange County regions. Fully certified by numerous organizations and
with nearly two decades of experience in the childbirth field, I have an extensive wealth of information
to share. In addition, I have a Bachelor of Arts degree specifically designed to assist women and their
families through the birthing process. You can e-mail me at LadyDoula@juno.com or call Eileen Wright at
(909)948-8868 or (562)987-1737.
