Debra's Story
Life
I am a mother of five - teens and young adults. Being a mother has been one of the most powerful influences in my life and started me on my career 25 years ago working to improve maternity care. I am a co-chair of the International MotherBaby Childbirth Initiative, IMBCI with goals to reduce maternal and infant mortality around the world. I serve on the Childbirth Connection Board of Directors and was on the first Board of Directors for DONA International and am a DONA approved Doula Trainer. Living in NJ I have also been on the board of our Northern NJ Maternal Child/Health Consoritium.

Witness the passion as birth is revealed as an integral part of woman¿s sexuality and a neglected human right.
My husband Jimi shares my passion to help improve care for mother's babies and families and enjoys traveling with me as my work takes me around the world.
