I believe that bringing a child onto this planet is the most awe-inspiring commitment that any one human can share with another. I also believe that providing a woman with knowledge and support can elevate her birthing experience to a level she may not have realized was possible. Birth is a most individual and precious moment that is shared with the people most dear to you. It can be the most empowering experience in a woman's life. I strongly believe that what happens to us and our children at the beginning of life, directly affects our emotional, physical, and spiritual well being, as well as our impact on society, throughout the rest of our lives.

My name is Jo Kilburn. I live in Encinitas, in southern California. I have 25 years of childbirth experience and have attended over 150 births in hospitals and at homes. My certifications include DONA (Doulas of North America), HypnoBirthing CCE, and a member of Birth Resource Network, a group of professional and independent doulas in San Diego.
