Hey hey! I’m Dairian. I've been an occupational therapist (OT) since 2013 and a lactation consultant (IBCLC) since 2021. Maternal health and infant health are intricately linked, and my mission is to provide comprehensive support that acknowledges this connection. I pursued additional training as a postpartum doula to complement my OT background. I specialize in lactation, infant feeding, and infant development. Within this, I typically address concerns like tongue ties and bottle refusal and offer manual therapy/bodywork such as craniosacral therapy and myofascial release.

I have extensive experience in trauma informed care. It is my greatest joy to support folks through the sacred portals of pregnancy ,childbirth, and the fourth trimester.
