I help new parents feel calmer, more confident, and less overwhelmed in the early weeks with their baby—especially around feeding. As a board-certified lactation consultant and newborn care specialist, I offer clear, evidence-based guidance paired with a steady, intuitive approach that helps you trust your body, your baby, and your decisions.

For any interested expecting Mama’s; don’t hesitate. If you’re looking at this it’s probably because you are considering a Lactation Consultant. Please set yourself and your baby up for success with Evonne. I had a discovery call with Evonne about 10 days before I gave birth and then saw her a handful of times after. Breastfeeding is a roller coaster and I honestly would have given up if it weren’t for Evonne. She helped with getting my baby to latch comfortably and also helped with bodywork and her neck tension. Evonne has such a calm and nurturing approach to her care. She even helped me learn the best ways to encourage my baby to sleep and massages to help with constipation. Before seeing Evonne, my baby girl had lost 8% of her body weight in the first few days but after just one appointment with Evonne, she “overachieved” on getting back on track. Shes growing so well now! We also saw Hideko for a bodywork session and she was so gentle and amazing at explaining to us everything that she was noticing. She gave us homework to help our baby also and we saw the difference in just a few days. Our baby became so much more comfortable. Both Evonne and Hideko are so flexible with in-office offerings, home visits and virtual follow-ups. They provided so much information and tutorials also to review. My family and I are so beyond grateful to Evonne and Hideko. You are in amazing hands with them!

I’m so glad you’re here. I’m Nataly—a mother of two, a wife, a creative designer, and a bilingual birth and postpartum doula. Long before I had children of my own, I dreamed of becoming a mother. That journey has been nothing short of transformative—beautiful, challenging, and deeply meaningful. It’s shaped who I am and fuels my passion for supporting others through their own parenting journeys. Whether you’re welcoming your first child or your fifth, you deserve to be supported, celebrated, and surrounded by compassion every step of the way. This belief is what led me to become a doula. My role is to provide evidence-based information and compassionate, nonjudgmental support, empowering you and your family to make the choices that feel right for you. I honor your unique preferences and needs throughout this deeply personal journey.

Are you feeling sad more often than usual? feeling a lot of stress or anxious due to work, the pandemic, or family demands? feeling irritable towards your partner? needing someone to talk to about a traumatic event or losing a loved one? If any of the things listed above relates to you then psychotherapy may help. I admire you for being BRAVE & looking into psychotherapy so pat yourself on the back. As a social worker, I provide psychotherapy to guide & support you as you improve your life. I work with individuals to discuss the challenges she/he/they are facing & to find tools for coping. In my practice, I integrate mindfulness, cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, seeking safety, interpersonal therapy, mental health first aid, & wellness practices which have helped my clients with their recovery. I recommend psychotherapy if you are ready to change your unhealthy habits, need to work through a traumatic experience, &/or ready to grow, learn, or feel better as a person. I believe that everyone should go to psychotherapy at some point in their life because life can be unbearable at times, and I hope to help you during your difficult time.

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.
