Patrician Newton

A busy homeschooling mom of three, Patricia has a passion for helping childbearing women and their families. She is the owner of Proud Pregnancies, and provides doula services as well as childbirth and breastfeeding education in southern New Jersey.

In response to 9-11, Patricia founded Operation Special Delivery, which has since grown to be a national program. OSD consists of hundreds of volunteer doulas who provide free doula services during wartime to military wives who are giving birth while their partners are deployed. The program has received much media attention, including Patricia's live interview on CNN Headline News.

Despite her list of accomplishments and many activities, Patricia is most content when she is writing. "It's therapy for me," she explains, "It calms me down and de-clutters my brain." Patricia's work has been published in several national magazines, and hopes to be a part of Natural Family Online for a long time.
