Dee Pullen, Doula

I am a doula, HypnoBirthing(r) practitioner, lactation counselor and birth videographer serving West Central Florida. I have attended over 425 births.

I’m Dee Pullen, doula, HypnoBirthing ® instructor, and lactation counselor. I am the mother of 2 homeborn, homeschooled sons. After my 2nd son’s birth, I decided I wanted to help women have the kind of wonderful birth experiences I had w/ my children. I have been working in the birth field since 1995. I have had the huge honor of attending over 420 births. I help moms have the birth of their dream

s, whatever that may be for them. I know that women remember their birth experiences forever. I’d like to help you make that memory a great one! My philosophy is that women are perfectly designed to give birth when empowered. It’s my job to teach you to do that for yourself. I further know that birth can be an amazing, life-changing event. In my spare time I create spectacular fire shows for events with my family. I also am an avid hiker. Just in 2015, I finished hiking the Appalachian trail with one of my sons. It was definitely an experience I will never forget!

We all know breastfeeding comes with nutritional value, but researches have now found a new benefit.
