Marcie Thomas, L.M.T., Birth Doula, Hypnotherapist,
Fertility Therapist, and HypnoBirthing Educator
Marcie is a birth junkie! She loves all aspects of birth. She loves being a part of
all the stages, from "I think I'd like to have a baby"...to placenta encapsulation
(working for Placenta Benefits.info). She has been a massage therapist for
several years and is certified in pre-natal, craniosacral therapy, mayan
abdominal massage as well as most other modalities. Marcie brings a wealth
of knowledge and experience to her practice as a doula. Inspired by the births of
her granddaughters not being the kind of birthing experience she thought her
daughters deserved, she became a doula to help give her family the best birth
experience possible. Friends and others soon followed and she is thrilled to be
a part of many birth experiences both hospital and home births. Being an
advocate for mothers, fathers and new little ones during the birthing experience
is one of her most favorite things and among her most cherished life
experiences.
