ICAN is excited to announce Evey Quines as our newest chapter leader! She has completed training and will be leading ICAN of Inland Empire!
The Inland Empire consists of San Bernardino & Riverside counties in California. It is a huge geographical area. My focus is going to be Northern Riverside County and surrounding areas including Riverside, Corona, Ontario, Rancho Cucamonga. There are lots of homebirth and birth center options as well as lots of amazing midwives and doulas to choose from. We need to work on getting VBAC restrictions abolished.
Why get involved with ICAN?
When I found out I was having a second baby, I saw a flyer about a VBAC education event. My husband and I went and we were excited to work towards a VBAC and to be tapped into a resource to achieve that goal. It was an uphill battle, but this time I had the knowledge I needed to not only be able to stand up for myself but to be prepared with the right support. I’m excited about meeting families and hearing all the different journeys they’ve been on. I wish other people knew that ICAN is an amazing resource for cesarean education. I believe that no matter what kind of birth you have, you can be empowered and in control. Own that.
