Jim Doering has been working with wood for the past 40 years. From his very first project, a mahogany shelf he made for a high school shop, he realized he had both a talent and a love for this time-honored craft.Over the years, he has created many items for family and friends, ranging from coffee tables, rocking chairs, crown moldings and trim for rooms, and more, all while developing Doering Consulting, a successful computer consulting business.Woodworking continues to be a passion for Jim, and as he enters a new phase in his life, he is now able to offer his talents to a discerning, high-end clientele, who can appreciate (and afford) the services of a skillful and experienced high-end craftsman.As his tagline suggests, he is not in the market to mass produce cheap, disposable items, but rather to create fine, detailed pieces that he can enjoy making, and you can enjoy owning.Please visit the gallery here to see examples of his work.

I am a mother of two. I have five years teaching experience in the public schools. I became interested in childbirth after the birth of my daughter in August 2006. I wanted to help other women and their partners have the type of experience they felt good about. I began my path towards my birth doula certification through Doulas of North America (DONA) in March 2007. I attended DONA birth doula training in January 2008, where I learned more about comfort techniques, laboring and birthing positions, and how to help a mother and her partner during her birth experience. I see birth as a natural process, one that doesn’t require unnecessary interventions. I also believe that an expectant mother should prepare for the labor and birth of her child through several ways: eating well, exercising, reading books supportive of intervention-free birthing, practicing her relaxation techniques (visualization, breathing, stretching, massage, etc), and practicing her laboring and birthing positions (squatting, hands and knees, lunging, etc). I do believe there are circumstances beyond our control that warrant intervention, and in order to be prepared for these unlikely happenings, it is proactive to be educated about the options available.
