Angela has been a registered nurse for most of her life. With a bachelor's degree in Psychology and Anthropology, and a master's in Counseling Psychology, she has drawn on her nursing background as a family counselor, a visiting and hospice nurse and nurse and volunteer educator to present this book to new parents. Williams is a certified post-partum doula and baby nurse in the San Francisco Bay area, where she lives near four of her five children, and is the adoring grandmother - and first baby nurse - to her dozen grandkids (and Lucas!) as well as the grateful friend of so many parents and babies she's had the joy of working for.
