Felicia VERA - Newborn Care Specialist

About Felicia

Hi there! I’m Felicia, and I am so honored to support families during one of the most transformative chapters of their lives. As a current MSN (Master of Science in Nursing) student, I am deeply committed to providing evidence-based, compassionate care. My passion for postpartum support is rooted in both my clinical training and my own personal journey as a mother of five. Having experienced four natural births—including two unmedicated experiences—and navigating an emergency C-section, I hold a unique, firsthand understanding of the diverse paths childbirth can take. I am also deeply passionate about mental health awareness. Having personally experienced postpartum depression, I offer a space of profound understanding and non-judgmental support for parents navigating their own emotional transitions. I am a certified Sleep Safe Ambassador (Cribs for Kids) and am currently pursuing my postpartum doula certification to further enhance the care I provide. When I’m not studying or supporting families, you’ll find me exploring all that South Florida has to offer, from hidden gems to new experiences, or simply enjoying quality time with my children. My philosophy is centered on gentle, informed guidance; I am here to hold space for your unique experience, provide practical support, and ensure you feel empowered and confident as you transition into this new chapter.
