About me

My passion is helping families thrive in the fourth trimester and I believe it is sacred work. I love teaching and modeling evidence-based care for newborns and the birthing person to all members of the family. I enjoy completing practical tasks around your home so you can focus on your recovery, your baby, and one another.

After the birth of my son, Mandy made me feel understood and loved, she listened to my concerns without judgment. She explained what happens to the body after birth and offered manageable actions to help. I’m unbelievably grateful for her service, it helped me get through one of the most challenging times of my life.
