About Netsitsah Manela
Certified Childbirth Educator (BirthWorks, International)
Certified Doula (ALACE, toLabor)
Lev and Shama, Summer 2010
One winter morning in 2005, I woke up knowing I needed to be with women in birth. After completing doula training the following fall, I began working as a volunteer with the DC Family Health and Birth Center. Since that time, I have been attending births in the DC and Baltimore areas in homes, birth centers, and hospitals, serving as a doula, monitrice, and assistant to homebirth midwives.
I am always reading and researching on pregnancy, birth, and parenting and regularly participate in birth-related conferences, study groups, and other continuing education opportunities. I am trained and maintain certification in neonatal resuscitation, CPR and first aid.
My own two children were born at home with a midwife - Lev in 2007, and Shama in 2010. My husband, Jakir, caught Shama with his own hands!
I started teaching childbirth classes through BirthWorks, International in the summer of 2009 and have continued to evolve my curriculum based on the needs and feedback of each round of participants.
Jakir, Lev, Shama, and I live in Reisterstown, MD, half a mile from the Pearlstone Conference and Retreat Center, where, Jakir runs Kayam Farm. Kayam is an educational organic farm where vegetables, fruits, herbs, flowers, chickens, goats, and community thrive. We are blessed to be raising our family here.
I speak Mandarin Chinese and Te Reo Maori, as well as a few words of Hebrew. I work comfortably and respectfully with all kinds of families and am always honored and amazed to be doing this work.
Most people call me "Nets."
