About me

I specialize in overnight care for new families. I maintain certification as a postpartum doula, have completed training as an advanced newborn care specialist, and have worked with over 50 families in the last three years. I become a member of the family I work with and am committed to being a part of your team. I am warm, personable, and develop a sense of mutual respect with my clients. As a doula and newborn care specialist I am akin to a walking, talking baby book that is forever being updated on current trends and safety standards.

Service introduction

I provide postpartum support in the initial days after families return home. This includes helping with postpartum bleeding, typical body changes post delivery, and extra care for c-section recovery. I am on hand for breastfeeding education as well as formula feeding support. I keep all bottles, pump parts, and baby related laundry moving through the system to reduce the chaos that may seem impossible to stay on top of. I am also a care provider, a listening ear, and a temporary bestie who will activate my sense of humor when needed. This new parent stuff is messy--physically and emotionally. I'm here to guide you through it with love, patience, and confidence. You'll quickly feel comfortable with me and trust that your baby is given the possible care while you're resting.
