About
The practice is led by Heidi Duncan, who traces her calling to birth work to 1999. She states, “The first birth I witnessed was an ‘aha’ moment. I knew from that summer day in 1999 that I was called to this work.” According to the site, she discovered natural birth in her mid-twenties and pursued formal education after recognizing how knowledge improved her clients’ birth experiences. The site reports more than 25 years of birth work and “475+ births since 2001.”
Duncan’s listed certifications and credentials include Certified Body Ready Method Pro (2023 to present), Spinning Babies Certified Parent Educator (2022 to present), Authorized Peanut Ball Trainer (2017 to present), and Childbirth International Certified Birth Doula (2017 to present). She is listed as a former Evidence Based Birth Instructor (2015 to 2024) and a former holder of DONA and ICEA certifications from the early 2000s, as well as an ICAN professional member.
