Lynn M. Griesemer, author of Unassisted Homebirth: An Act of Love (1998), coordinated the First National Husband / Wife Homebirth Conference in 1998. Her passion for birth has resulted from her birth experiences (4 hospital births and 2 unassisted births), but continues to gain momentum because she believes that this issue (childbirth) is HUGE. The importance of a satisfying birth experience is largely ignored by the general public.

She has been a homeschooling mother since 1994 and along with her husband Bob, continues to homeschool their youngest two children. She is a former Human Resources Manager and Army Officer. She received her B.A. in Psychology from Boston University and M.S. in Human Resources Management and Development from Chapman University. She received Toastmasters International’s highest award, Distinguished Toastmaster (DTM) in 2006. Lynn and Bob serve as volunteers for the Conference for the Engaged Program with the Catholic Diocese of Arlington, VA where they have given presentations to over 1000 people since May, 2005.

Lynn was able to combat a compulsive overeating problem, lost 50 pounds in 2006 and is confident that the weight will not return for the rest of her life. She plans on writing a book on her secrets and methods. Check back in June for a link to some startling "before" and "after" pictures.
