Johanna Forney - Newborn Care Specialist

About Johanna

As a professional in the childcare industry for over 15 years, my next step to become a Post Partum Doula was truly an incredible choice. In my Post Partum Doula practice, I actively strive to hold space for ALL PEOPLE and families. Birth parents, adoptive parents, foster parents, queer families, BIPOC families, families of different structures, and all different walls of life. EVERYONE deserves support during the post partum period, no matter what.

What to expect

My personal passion in my practice is making sure all the back end work, ‘dotting Is and crossing Ta’ is off the plates of the new parent/parents. I strive to help make sure the household has nutritional meals, tidy spaces and support in educating parents on their new little joy, while keeping their recovery and rest at the top of the list.
