4worldlovers: “Brenda is absolutely incredible. We took Brenda’s Lamaze classes in the weeks leading up to the birth of our daughter. I am a labor and delivery nurse, and even with my own knowledge, having Brenda guidance through how to process the journey together and intimately was amazing and so incredibly helpful for my husband and I. Brenda truly embodies this work and it is so evident in how she teaches and shares with the upmost love, passion, respect and professionalism.”

I've been working as a doula since 1992, one year after the birth of my first son. I officially trained and certified in 1999 after my second birth, my VBAC. I began midwifery school in 2003 and became a Lamaze Certified Childbirth Educator in 2006. Since then I've trained hundreds of birth and postpartum doulas, started the very first doula agency in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, offering a more thorough, complete training with an apprenticeship.

About my credentials: I'm a Certified Birth Certified Doula through DONA International, a Certified Postpartum Doula through A Healthy Birth LLC, an Accredited Infant Massage Instructor, a Lamaze Certified Childbirth Educator and a Fellow of the Academy of Certified Childbirth Educators. I proudly serve on the Board of Directors for Lamaze International.

DID YOU KNOW: The Lamaze childbirth education certification is the only childbirth educator program that has passed the rigorous standards set by the National Commission for Certifying Agencies? Brenda has been a Lamaze Certified Childbirth Educator since 2006 and has a dynamic class presence to engage with you in any forum. Learn more about what each class offers. Ready to register?

Lamaze International encourages you to submit this form to your insurance company for reimbursement for your childbirth and lactation education classes. Many insurance companies offer at least partial, if not full coverage for classes. If your insurance company does not, we suggest you write a letter detailing how important your classes were to your birth experience. You may even request that your care provider write a brief note about the importance of meaningful childbirth or lactation education – a “prescription” of sorts.

1. Call the customer service number on the back of your insurance card. They can tell you if you have coverage for childbirth or lactation education and how they prefer that you submit the claim.

2. If any additional documentation is needed from your educator (i.e., class description or a more detailed billing), please contact your educator directly for the additional information.

3. Attach your own insurance carrier’s claim form with a copy of this completed Insurance Form.

Lamaze childbirth education classes are also an acceptable healthcare expense that is covered by flexible spending accounts benefits offering you pre-tax savings on the cost of classes.

4worldlovers: My doula helped me prepare for a natural birth by helping me come up with a birth plan, assisting in finding a midwife, holding classes about the process and exercises to help with contractions, walking me through everything step by step, offering ideas about a topic when I had none, helping come up with alternatives to medication. The assistance she provided during my pregnancy was invaluable. She really made the process for me as seamless as possible.

Freya and her team at RootMama proved integral to my wife’s smooth (and natural) delivery. Our doula hosted educational sessions during all three trimesters, helped us with techniques for delivery, and prevented me from losing my mind during delivery. Not to mention how much they helped my wife and son during delivery, with recovery, and home visits. I cannot recommend RootMama enough! ​

​I am very thankful and grateful to have had Freya as my doula, without her warm calming presence and expertise my VBAC could have gone the exact opposite of my expectations. I am very grateful that this birthing experience this time around resulted in me feeling more rewarded, positive, and accomplished in knowing that the next time around I can do it again the way that God intended, naturally! Thank you Freya for your genuine love, support, and expertise!
