Our Founders

Beautiful Beginnings was founded in 1994 by Rosemary Mason, Cathie Aymar, Stacey Scarborough, Stacie Hoffman and Viki Bettis. Their extensive training as childbirth educators began in 1993 through the Childbirth Education Association of San Diego, and our mission statement reflects that of the International Childbirth Education Association: “Freedom of Choice, based on knowledge of Alternatives.” Our goal is still to provide information, education, empowerment and support for all types of birth experiences, supporting all personal choices of the parents, and providing a doula for every women who wants a doula.
