Elizabeth Mangum, LCSW, CD(DONA), LCCE has been working as a labor support doula
since 2004. She is the Director of BirthFocus and the former Director of
Maternal Health and Parenting Services at Inwood House, a non-profit that offers
services to pregnant and parenting teens. She has a private practice in which
she provides individual and couples counseling related to issues of pregnancy
and birth and is a Lamaze Certified Childbirth Educator. Through connections she
made with many of the teen moms, with whom she worked, she developed an interest
in becoming a doula. As a doula, she hopes to empower mothers of all ages to use
their voices to create the birth they desire! Her warmth, calm demeanor, and
sense of humor will also add to the birth experience. She is currently in
training to become a DONA certified Birth Doula Trainer in the hopes of bringing
many more women into this wonderful profession. In April 2010 Elizabeth will be
taking a nine-month sabbatical as she will be traveling through Europe, the
Middle East, and Africa to study cross cultural trends in birthing practices.
