![]() Hi, my name is Linda Gottfried! I am a DONA (Doulas of North America) Certified Doula. I received my training from Community Hospitals of Indianapolis, and worked for them as a birth doula for several years following my training. I now work with private clients, and attend births at hospitals in the Indianapolis area and surrounding counties. I have attended over 100 births since becoming a doula. I have grown children, seven beautiful granddaughters, and a very handsome grandson. My husband is a retired university professor, and I became a doula after retiring from a position in the sales department of a corporation. I have always felt passionate about pregnancy and the birth experience and find the role I play as a doula extremely rewarding. Nurturing is second nature to me, and I have formed wonderful bonds with the couples and babies that I have worked with. |
