Casey is a Certified Postpartum and Infant Care Doula through ProDoula, holds a Lactation Education Counselor certificate through the University of San Diego, and is trained in the respectful caregiving approach (RIE). With her undergraduate degree in exercise science and her master’s degree in counseling, she understands the importance of focusing on the social, emotional and physical experiences of postpartum families. Casey has expanded her knowledge on human development and worked with children in every developmental stage, with an emphasis on newborn milestones and care techniques. She brings a wealth of knowledge to the postpartum experience by utilizing the skills she has learned from over 14 years of working as a nanny, primarily caring for infants of first-time parents. Throughout her career, she had the privilege of working with a diverse group of families from coast to coast. Casey believes in a whole family approach, and individualizing the care and support she provides to fit each family’s needs. She focuses her support on helping families in the transition of welcoming a new baby in the home and understands how important and special this time is. Casey’s goal is to help families thrive, not just survive. It takes a village to raise a child, and she is honored to continue to be a support in so many villages.

The following are services currently offered: 1) In Person and Virtual Postpartum Support: As your postpartum doula, I provide reassurance and gentle coaching to help you find your groove and build your confidence with expert guidance. We work together to establish routines that work for YOUR family. The support I provide includes, but not limited to, recovery support for mom, evidence-based lactation and feeding support, help with understanding baby’s cues, complete baby care, education on newborn/infant sleep needs and patterns, postpartum support focused on the entire family unit, light tidying and meal support, and connections to local resources as needed. 2) Postpartum Essentials/Nursery Nesting Visit: A 3 hour prenatal visit to discuss all things postpartum and help you prepare to welcome baby. This is a great time to finalize nursery preparations/organization, decide what postpartum essentials are needed, pack your birth bag for delivery, and/or creating a postpartum support plan. This visit typically occurs towards the end of the second trimester or beginning of the third trimester. I am happy to accommodate moms earlier or later on in their pregnancy as well. 3) In-Home Postpartum Meal Prep: Give yourself the gift of prepared meals that can easily be reheated during the early postpartum days. You can choose from our menu of nourishing and healing focused meals or provide me with recipes of your favorite comfort meals to prepare for you.
