About Theresa

Birth is as much an emotional process as a physical one. Theresa, who writes for this site, is doula, biologist and meditation teacher.

Theresa is trained as a professional Doula working towards her international doula certification through DONA. She is educated in many ancient and modern techniques to relieve pain and overcome physical and emotional obstacles for women before and during labour.

Her Bachelor of Science degree has a focus on ecology. She has worked for years with researchers making science available to the public as a professional writer, photographer and videographer–her work has been published in the Calgary Herald, Global TV and NFB documentaries.

Theresa teaches a form of dyadic zen meditation and has also served as a crisis-counsellor for women fleeing violence and abuse.

However, her greatest and most joyous work to date is as the mother of her beautiful baby boy, Bodhi. Theresa and her loving, supportive and super hunky husband, Steve, reside in Bermuda.
