“I wanted to be a dancer, an actress, a painter, a writer. Years ago my acting teacher asked, 'What is the most important thing in life?' 'Children....' I told him. 'Children... and art.' Finally, my work is what became my art."

“Know this primal power that guides without forcing, that serves without seeking, that brings forth and sustains life yet does not own or possess it. One who holds this power brings Tao to this very earth.”
—Lao Tzu

ABOUT
 


From a successful massage practice of twenty years to her graduation, with honors, from the Hypnosis Motivation Institute, in Tarzana, California, Caitlin's passion is to encourage expansion of heart, mind, psyche and spirit.

Her work as a Birth Doula began in 1995. In 1996, she studied with Ina May Gaskin and The Farm Midwives in Summertown, Tennessee, returning ten years later for further education in Midwifery Assistance. She was featured on an episode of the women's weekly Television series, "New Attitudes," with Penny Simkin, and she assisted Pam England and her "Birthing From Within" courses in San Francisco and in Santa Fe.

As a Doula, Caitlin believes she has the best job in the world and is privileged to have welcomed over 200 babies onto our planet.  In 2009 she will extend her course of education in Craniosacral Therapy to include Pediatrics - from newborns to age two.

Compassion and a curiosity for the human spirit reigns at the forefront of her motivation for continued studies, and is the source of inspiration for her work in artful service. She is, additionally, a published photographer and writer.
