Meet your doula
Margaret Lowe is passionate about supporting pregnant moms and also passionate about making cross-cultural connections. Although she grew up in California, she has spent much of her adult life living in Cambodia, Thailand, and Papua New Guinea.
While living in Cambodia, she researched local women's birth experiences. She learned that the women from her village all gave birth without pain medication by necessity. However, they also lacked information on natural ways to ease birth pains and help labor progress. They frequently had difficult births where they felt alone and unsupported. Knowing from personal experience how much difference childbirth education and labor support makes, Margaret was inspired to become a doula.
Margaret has returned to California and is excited to offer compassionate doula care and practical childbirth education to families in San Diego. Margaret is a certified birth doula, certified postpartum doula, certified childbirth educator, and certified breastfeeding educator. She holds a master's degree in language development, has studied 7 languages, and offers doula services in English and Khmer.
Margaret has been married to her husband, Don, for 10 years. They have two sons. In her spare time, she enjoys watercolor painting.
