    JoAnne was born in California and raised in Michigan and Colorado. She married Tim King in 1974. After much research and education, together they chose to have their three children naturally at home in a very loving, peaceful, environment. JoAnne treasures each experience as happy and successful.

After experiencing a birth with medical support but without a trained doula, she appreciates the importance of having a personal, experienced labor companion (doula) during one of life's most memorable events.   

   In those early years she served as a doula for other families, helping them prepare for birth, with the birth, and to get started and enjoy rewarding breastfeeding as well. 

    Now, having raised her family, she is again sharing her joy and experience with other mothers and their partners, assisting them to achieve their own wishes and desires for their own birth experience.  She completed a hospital-based doula training course in 2000 and is certified with DONA (Doulas of North America).  Professional memberships include DONA, CAPPA, ICEA.  Additionally she has been on staff as a doula with two hospitals in the Denver metropolitan area.

    In a hospital, a birth center, or at home, engaging a birth doula is one of the best decisions you can make toward getting your ideal birth.  JoAnne would like to help you create the best birth possible for you and your baby!
