About Johanna Hatch, CD, CCE |
||
My philosophy as a doula and educator is to support the normal, physiological processes of birth and breastfeeding, be a source of evidence-based information, and provide physical and emotional support throughout the birth process. My foremost concern is to help my clients have positive and informed experiences, and help connect them with the community resources they desire.
My name is Johanna Hatch. I have been married since 2007 and gave birth to my first child, Liam, November 2009. Throughout my pregnancy, I read and researched natural childbirth, attended childbirth education courses, and was very grateful to have a natural, low-intervention birth with the support of my spouse and the care of the wonderful midwives at Meriter Hospital in Madison. My desire to be a doula and childbirth educator comes from my interest in women’s health and my passion for advocacy and empowerment born from working with immigrant women and survivors of domestic violence. I believe in your ability to make healthy decisions for yourself and your child, and will work to support you in the ways you desire. I received a BA in Peace Studies with a minor in Gender and Women’s Studies from the College of St. Benedict. I am currently a student in the Associate's Degree in Nursing program at Herzing University.
