ICAN is excited to announce Tasha Portley as our newest chapter leader! She has completed training and will be leading ICAN of Tyler!
.
Tell us about the birth climate in your area.
ICAN of Tyler is in Texas, our outside focus regions will be Palestine, Jacksonville, Longview, and Athens. We do have a Doula Network, but I wish we had more midwifery access here.
.
How did you find out about ICAN?
I learned of ICAN after having a cesarean myself on the internet. I am excited to help women and their families navigate the birth community in preparation of their birth. I strongly believe that if we can prevent the primary cesarean, we can help empower women to birth healthy babies while sustaining her health as well.
.
Tell us about yourself!
I am focused, determined, and driven. I am a 34 year old Registered Nurse (12 years). I have enjoyed the last few years working in the case management field. I am currently working in a Diabetes Center. I work with patients daily to help them self manage their diabetes. I am the mother of two precious boys. In my spare time I am enjoying quiet evenings with my family. I am excited about giving back to my community in which I live!

Next meeting?
Join us August 10th 2016, 6-8 PM at Foundry coffee house!

Welcome, Tasha! We can’t wait to see how you impact your community!
