Debbie Gordon

Draper, UT

Debbie Gordon was born and raised in Casper, Wyoming, as the 7th child of 13. She grew up with a baby in her arms and from a young age wanted to be a nurse working with mothers and babies. Her desires were fulfilled as she was hired to work in Labor and Delivery as a graduate nurse in 1985 at the hospital there in Casper. She began working for IHC at LDS Hospital in the maternal/newborn, GYN/high-risk antepartum unit in 1988 after marrying her husband Jay and trained all the new hires from 1989-1994. After transferring to Alta View Hospital to work in Labor and Birthing in 1994, Debbie received her certification in childbirth education and began teaching. Following many years of infertility and multiple pregnancy losses Debbie and Jay adopted two sons, Jayson in 1995 and Jonathan in 1999, and then later finally carried a baby to term, birthing Matthew unmedicated in 2002. After having assisted childbearing women for 17 yrs., Debbie chose to hire a doula to assist her in her first biological birth. After Matthew’s birth, she turned to her doula (even before the placenta was delivered) and said, “Claire, next time let’s do HypnoBirthing®!” Debbie knew there was a more comfortable way to birth her babies and two years later,using HypnoBirthing® techniques, she comfortably birthed her 4th son, Benjamin. As she did with Matthew, she turned to her husband, Jay, and said, “Gee, that was so fun! Let’s do it again!”
