Expert Profile: Helen Joan Casper, CD (CBI)

Expertise: I can provide research and information on a variety of subjects concerning pregnancy and childbirth. I can provide supportive, factual information regarding pregnancy care, natural childbirth, VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean section), labor induction, doulas, midwives, hospital births, homebirths, waterbirthing, hypnobirthing, holistic childbirth, traditional childbirth, epidurals, alternative forms of pain relief, spinal blocks, choosing a caregiver (obstetrician vs. midwife), communicating with medical professionals, finding the childbirth style that is best for you, and exploring childbirth options. I am not a medical professional and thus do not provide medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. Any information I give is not to replace or substitute for care from a licensed medical practitioner.

Experience in the area
I have been studying to be a doula since 2003 and received my doula certification with Childbirth International in 2007. I have served as a doula at two births and help many others through childbirth and doula communities.

Organizations
Childbirth International, Birth Choices, Bellywomen.Net, various doula and midwifery forums.

Education/Credentials
I am a Certified Doula through Childbirth International.

Awards and Honors
Within AllExperts, I am also a highly-rated expert in weddings, roleplaying games, and video games. I have been nominated as volunteer of the month numerous times. I am a new AllExperts expert in the doula category.
