Hi there! I’m Jenna, and I’m so glad you’re considering me to help guide you through your motherhood journey. As a board-certified occupational therapist with over nine years of experience, I specialize in maternal and pediatric care and truly love what I do. As a mom of two, I truly understand the joys and challenges of welcoming a new baby into your family, and I bring that experience into every patient interaction. ​ I’m particularly passionate about helping new moms navigate the early days of feeding their newborns. I also emphasize postpartum wellness, knowing how important it is for moms to take care of their own health, too. My goal is to be a resource for both you and your baby, helping you build a strong, healthy foundation as a family. ​ When I'm not driving all around town doing home visits, I enjoy spending time with my kids and husband, cooking comforting meals, snuggling with my pitbull, listening to podcasts, and watching anything on Bravo. I look forward to meeting you and your little one, learning about your unique family, and supporting you every step of the way.

Hi, I’m April and I am so glad you are here! I am a lactation provider, infant bodyworker, and perinatal supporter with a background in psychology. Above all, I am a Mommy to two wild sons and one sweet daughter. I have dedicated my career to empowering and informing women alike on how to utilize their innate abilities to achieve optimal well-being for themselves and their babies. With a holistic approach, I provide comprehensive support and address concerns and challenges. I promote a positive and nurturing environment through active and empathetic listening. Understanding the importance of personalized care, I tailor my guidance to families’ unique needs, applying evidence-based practices and drawing from my extensive knowledge. I aim to educate and encourage mothers while offering solutions to common problems and ensuring a fulfilling transformation into motherhood. Whether addressing latch issues, correcting torticollis, or recognizing perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, I have a genuine desire to help mothers succeed and obtain their goals. My commitment extends beyond our initial interaction, as I strive to build lasting connections with mothers as they confidently grow their families. It is an honor to get to work with the mother/baby DYAD and a privilege to witness each relationship thrive while navigating new norms and creating a beautiful, rewarding story.
