Birth in Harmony was founded in 2007 by Severine Degnan, a certified Birth Doula. Severine Degnan immigrated from France in 1998.

After the birth of my daughter in June 2006, I realized that my birth was a gift from her. It had changed me forever and I believed that many other women could have a beautiful, sacred, and empowered birth. I felt the need to share my experience with other women. I started attending births in the spring of 2008 and completed my certification at the end of that year.

My philosophy is such that I will support you no matter what choices you make for your birth, because it's your birth and it's your baby. I strongly believe that each mom has the right to make decisions and have choices in regards to her birth.
As a doula, I work with both parents to help them find their path into parenthood so they can decide what is right for them and their family.

Since August 2009, I have been a Midwife's Assistant at homebirths and have attended a workshop at The Farm in May 2010. At the workshop, I learnt techniques and the work of an Assistant. It was fabulous to meet Ina May Gaskin, Pamela Hunt and Stacie Hunt.

I am a certified Postpartum Doula with DONA, specializing in overnight services.

I discovered Dancing for Birth classes in June 2010 and use the techniques and positions to prepare my clients for birth as well as during labor.

I am also the Co-Founder of Doulas of Rhode island.
