2.     6-12 month hand knit earflap hat by Liz.  Beautiful maroon and gray earflap hat.  Great to save for fall or use during these cooler spring days.
Liz Fernandez, CD (DONA), LCSW is a certified birth doula through Doulas of North America International, and is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Liz is also in training to become a Certified Lactation Consultant & Childbirth Educator through Childbirth International.
I have always felt that doula work is a calling, and for me this passion started over 10 years ago. I pride myself on my compassion and unique ability to connect to almost anyone, regardless of circumstance. I run a private psychotherapy practice as well, and I feel my social work background lends itself well in particular to those women coming into pregnancy with a history of depression/ anxiety, or abuse/neglect- who want support during pregnancy and labor. I also specialize in helping women who are single parents and those who have histories of births that were challenging or traumatic. My philosophy is that women should be empowered to birth however they feel safest, and as long as they are making informed choices, can and should make whatever birthing decisions they want. I am also the proud mother of my beautiful son Wesley.
