Gwen Alderks

Gwen is a wife of 30+ years, homeschooling mom, grandmother and certified doula and childbirth educator. She has supported over 100 couples in her 10+ years of serving as a birth doula! Gwen specializes in providing personalized support for her doula clients by dialoguing at length with them about their individual desires and preferences to obtain the most positive and empowering birth experience possible. “In-depth childbirth education classes and regular chiropractic adjustments are two highly recommended activities for all pregnant women,” Gwen emphasizes. Helping a laboring woman’s main support person feel comfortable and confident while attending birth is a very important component to Gwen’s prenatal visits. Gwen uses Spinning Babies® and evidence-based birth techniques with the majority of births she attends. She also captures labor and birth memories with photography, enhances the atmosphere with aromatherapy, and is skilled at placenta encapsulation for those clients that desire those extras.
