Whole Beginnings - doula services for empowering, supporting and loving mothers
“Birth is the sudden opening of a window, through which you look out upon a stupendous prospect. For what has happened? A miracle. You have exchanged nothing for the possibility of everything.” ~William MacNeile Dixon 


About This Girl Right Here:
Sandra Fraser Maurer is a Birth Arts International trained Doula, who is studying under a Philadelphia CPM (Certified Professional Midwife), reading, writing, and attending births.  She loves being a part of the birth experience for women and coming alongside them while they grow their families.

Sandra is also a Certified Yoga Instructor, specializing in Pre/Post-natal and Children's Yoga. She has been working with families since 2004 as a social worker, yoga instructor, nanny and most recently doula. 

Sandra offers her heart through her writing as well.  She started Moving Towards The Voice of Water in 2009 to share her personal spiritual journey in hopes of encouraging and inspiring others. Stuff Nannies Like. is a silly take on her adventures as a nanny and another way to be a part of families and their many dynamics and seasons. 

When she's not nannying, doula-ing or writing, you can find Sandra biking around her neighborhood in Portsmouth, VA, practicing yoga or greeting folks at her church.
