"We are now discovering the long-term effect on families of treating women
as if they were merely containers to be opened and relieved of their contents;
and of concentrating on a bag of muscle and birth canal, rather than relating
to and caring for the person to whom they belong."
----Sheila Kitzinger

All of The Nurturing Place courses were designed and are presented by Kristi
Ridd-Young, ICCE, CD(DONA), and DONA-approved Doula Trainer. She was
recently introduced as a speaker at an educator’s conference like this:
"Kristi is an experienced childbirth educator and doula. She is the former
International Childbirth Education Association (ICEA) Utah Coordinator and
DONA (Doulas of North America) Administrative Director and board member.
During her 19 years of teaching, Kristi has facilitated many doula trainings
throughout the country; she has been invaluable in helping many expectant
mothers and their partners develop skills and the inner strength needed to
experience a positive birth. As a caring, compassionate doula, she has
attended over 250 women. Kristi has been mentored by many of the leading
experts in the field of childbirth but, most of all, she credits her six
children and seven stepchildren for much of the wisdom and knowledge she
shares."
