Meet Dr. Helen Kociba, a naturopathic doctor and professional doula.  Dr. Helen has had a passion for birth since 2000, harboring a deep desire to attend to women and serve them during all stages of their pregnancy.  She has served in many roles as a doula ranging from birth photographer to quiet supporter to active labor coach.  Each time, no matter how big or small of a role she played, she was able to advocate to the miracle of life. While serving women and their families during the birth setting, she began feeling a strong pull toward gaining more education in the field of Natural Medicine.

She chose to attend the Naturopathic Institute of Therapies and Education in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan and completed her degree as a Board Certified Naturopathic Doctor.  She specializes in Women's Health, Herbalism, and Nutrition.  She is trained to use genetic information to create a Nutrigenomics Profile for those seeking the most specific nutritional plan.  Dr. Helen works well alongside those who are working with medical doctors offering the best comprehensive care possible to each patient.

In this episode, Dr. Helen shares her passion for helping others by recounting how she became a doula, how she continues to serve as a naturopathic doctor, and what steps women can take to ease the burden of menopause.
