Hey There!
Hello, my name is Doree!
I am certified as a childbirth educator with ICEA (International Childbirth Education Association), Bates Technical College, and Birthing From Within. I am a wife to a wonderful man, Adam Handford, and we have six beautiful children.
​
As a birth worker and a mom of six, I'm here to share my knowledge with soon-to-be parents who want real guidance. My journey into all things birthing started when I fell in love with a story called the "Red Tent." It inspired me to become a doula with DONA, helping parents through the birthing process.
​
I spent two years studying childbirth at Bates Technical College and got certified by ICEA. I also went through an amazing Birthing From Within Training. This approach, focusing on making birth special no matter where it happens, struck a chord with me.
Now I'm an advanced mentor, always learning more to be the best support.
​
When I'm not wearing my doula hat, I'm out in nature, hiking and staying active. I love music, dancing, and strumming my guitar. But my heart truly belongs to my family.
​
Sixteen years ago, destiny brought me and my husband together at a rock concert. Since then, we've built a wonderful life in North Idaho's peaceful landscapes.
With six amazing kids, each one unique and cherished, my greatest joy comes from watching them grow and find happiness.
​
If you're stepping into the incredible journey of childbirth and parenthood, I'm here to stand by your side, offering warm and caring support.
