Camas woman supports new mothers

As a mother, Bryna Sampey knows a thing or two about giving birth and breast feeding. As a doula, she is putting that knowledge to use while assisting women during their transition into motherhood. Sampey, of Camas, said there is the birth of the baby as well as the 'birth' of a mother during delivery. "There is an emotional and physical transition during active labor," she said. "That's when the mother is born, and she would give everything up for her children. That 'mother love' kicks in. It's so powerful."
