Hi I'm Diane Nader Giresi, I'm a DONA Trained and Certified Postpartum Doula, a Certified Lactation Counselor and a Pre/Postnatal Fitness Trainer. I realized with the birth of my first child, that I had to include a wellness plan for my overall wellbeing. I believe we go through different journeys throughout our lives and with each journey, we face challenges. My goal as a postpartum doula, is to provide my clients with individualized non-judgmental support that encourages them on their journey as new parents. Continuing education is always at the forefront, so I can provide the most up to date evidence based research and resources. I attend many workshops and conferences on the ever changing protocols on tongue-tie and oral restrictions. I provide extensive lactation support if choosing to breastfeed. I help develop strategies for success, back to work plans, weaning, pumping, and flange fitting. In addition to newborn care, understanding cues, and newborn sleep patterns. Support looks different for each family. I listen to your needs and together we form a plan that serves your new family unit.
Hi, I'm Diane Nader Giresi. I'm a DONA trained and certified postpartum doula, certified lactation counselor, and pre/postnatal fitness trainer. As a postpartum doula, my goal is to nurture the family. I will assist with self-care postpartum recovery measures, resources, evidence based newborn care, breastfeeding/lactation guidance, bottle-feeding , newborn cues, continuous non-medical physical and emotional support, light meal prep and organization. I provide lactation support for those who are choosing to breast/chest feed. Services include explanation of different breastfeeding positions, choosing a pump, provide flange fittings, milk storage guidance, and feeding plans. If you choose to formula feed, I can provide you with guidance about safe formula preparation and paced bottle feeding. If you have pre/post natal inquiries, we can discuss fitness plans that are individualized according to you pre/post activity levels.
Being in postpartum has made a lot of things more difficult but Diane's help has made one of those hardest things so much more enjoyable and approachable. She was extremely non-judgmental, very attentive, and very observant. I thought all was lost and the meltdowns would be normal,,but after Diane's visit, both baby and I had a much easier time approaching breastfeeding.

Diane provided much-needed support after the birth of my daughter as my husband and I adjusted to becoming first-time parents. She helped me build my confidence when I started my breastfeeding journey and is very knowledgeable about lactation, pumping, and setting realistic expectations for feeding a newborn. My husband and I also both benefitted from Diane's experience caring for infants. She is quick to respond to questions and provide advice without judgment, and helped us learn a range of new skills (e.g., bottle feeding, tummy time, baths, nail trims). We feel much more comfortable as new parents compared to where we started and highly recommend her to anyone seeking a postpartum doula!
