Barbara Decker, HBCE, HBFC, Certified Prenatal Bonding (BA) Facilitator and trainer, is a mother of two boys, 3 stepchildren, grandmother to 7, and a great-grandmother.  She has been a childbirth educator for over 50 years, a doula for over 50 years, previous Doula Trainer, a HypnoBirthing Practitioner for over 24 years, Registered Hypnotherapist, and a graduate of The Greatest Pregnancy Ever Prenatal Bonding Facilitator Program. Barbara is one of 15 people in the US to be trained in Prenatal Bonding (BA) by Dr. Gerhard Schroth from Germany. She is now one of the two Certified Prenatal Bonding (BA) Trainers in the United States. Birthing has been her labor of love ever since she had her children and she is passionate about the need to start Preconception/Early Pregnancy Classes to inform the public of the importance of the gestational period.  She is also determined to encourage building bridges between hospital staff and doulas in lowering intervention rates in hospital births.  She looks forward to supporting new doulas, bringing the field of Prenatal and Perinatal Psychology to the attention of childbirth professionals, and helping our families care for their babies in their first classroom of life, the womb. When women are connected to their babies in the womb, the pregnancies are more fulfilling, stress levels are lowered, births are less invasive, and postpartum is easier because we practice parenting before the baby is even born.
