A little bit about me....
Hello!
My name is CherVon Koeune and I am a DONA-trained Doula as well as a student Midwife. I live in Louisville, KY with my wonderful husband.
Why I became a Doula
I'm a birth-geek, plain and simple. I found myself becoming more and more amazed by the process of childbirth, always seeking more information and perspectives. I find it all miraculous. I find it all beautiful.
It is one of the most important experiences in a woman's life, and how she is made to feel during this experience will impact her for the rest of her life.
I became a Doula because I care about women and babies.
My philosophy
I strongly believe that women need to know all of their options. There is a wonderful quote by Diana Korte and Roberta Scaer (authors of A Good Birth, A Safe Birth) which says, "If you don't know your options, you don't have any." Ah! This is so true! I feel that in order to be able to truly make the best decisions for their babies, Mothers deserve to be informed of what is out there!
I believe that childbirth is a beautiful journey that can be a positive experience instead of a traumatic and lonely one. I feel privileged to help families in this special time.
