Hi! I'm Kristen. I am a graduate of Chamberlain University, where I obtained my Bachelor of Science in Nursing. My nursing degree has taken me down a path I was destined to be on. I always knew I wanted to work with mothers and babies, and after graduation, I began working as a private nurse for postpartum moms. I would be their support system during their personal postpartum journey while educating their entire family on how to navigate the new territory of bringing their baby (or babies!) home. It was during this time I learned how motherhood is such a beautiful experience, yet also one of the most difficult without the proper support system. I began to specialize in infant sleep and obtained my Pediatric Sleep Consultant certification through the Family Sleep Institute. I have worked with countless families in Chicago, as well as traveling throughout the US, to help support families during the postpartum period, and ensure their babies are on an appropriate, healthy sleeping schedule prior to my departure. I am enthusiastic about offering my passion in all things holistic and wellness. My additional training includes: DONA International postpartum doula, 200-HR yoga teacher training, 90-HR yoga training specializing in prenatal, postnatal, and fertility, as well as a nutrition counselor-in-training specializing in prenatal, postpartum, and baby nutrition. My role is to empower, educate, and support you during your own unique journey. My dream for you is to feel and believe in your own power and beauty as a woman, a mother, or an aspiring mother, during whichever season of life you are in.

During each home visit, I will provide nourishing postpartum meals and recipes. I will be there for you and support you in any way you need. I aim to create an optimal environment for restoration, preparing your relationship for the change to come, and tending kindly to your body and mind with small acts of self-care. Allow me to care for you during this transformative time, so you can stay connected to yourself while taking care of another.
