I am a pelvic health therapist in Stratford, CT. I help moms through pregnancy, birth prep, and everything after baby to support your health and your ability to do everything you want to do. I believe in a full body approach to pelvic health therapy to give you the best possible results. Truly understanding your goals allows me to create a customized plan just for you, because one size does not fit all!

Kayla is amazing!! I used her for placenta encapsulation for my last two babies and couldn’t be happier! She has such a great personality and made us feel so comfortable and excited about the whole process. She was prompt with coming to pick up the placenta and had the pills back to us so quickly. I didn’t do placenta encapsulation with my first baby and I certainly noticed a difference when using them with my last two! 10/10 recommend!

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.

Working with April has made such a difference in my postpartum period. I am so glad I decided to extend my learning by booking with April when my son turned 3 weeks old. I have learned so much after just a couple of sessions with April, and my experience with breastfeeding went from crying often, wondering if I could keep going to now thoroughly enjoying the process and what it gives to myself and my son. My son is 5 months and still breastfeeding beautifully today. April's approach considers the entire experience, baby's overall health, and mom's well being as well! She is extremely knowledgeable on a multitude of topics (both as a professional and as an experienced, nursing mother herself), she is very encouraging, and she is so empowering. She not only helps me problem-solve and find success as I navigate nursing, but she shows me that I already have the strength inside of me to do well and that I'm truly not alone. That has felt like the warmest hug as a first time postpartum mother, and patient care I really value. Not to mention that my son is always so calm with her! He receives craniosacral therapy treatment from her and I am always amazed at how relaxed he is during and after our sessions. Breastfeeding has brought up many questions for me but I have found many answers (and so much comfort) under April's guidance.

Pregnancy and childbirth are among the most transformative experiences in a woman's life. While this journey is natural, it also comes with many physical and emotional challenges. As your doula, my role is to provide continuous emotional support, physical comfort, and evidence-based guidance to help you have the best possible birth experience according to your values and preferences. With years of training and experience attending births, I understand the birthing process intimately. My goal is to be your constant companion, equipping you with knowledge and techniques to navigate each stage of labor. From breathing exercises and massage to simply holding your hand, I'll be by your side every step of the way. More than just medical support, I aim to cultivate a nurturing environment where you feel empowered, respected, and in control throughout your labor and delivery. My services extend beyond the birth as well, offering postpartum assistance to ensure you start this new chapter feeling confident and supported. Birth is an incredible rite of passage. As your doula, I'm honored to be part of your unique journey, providing the guidance and compassion you deserve during this profound life event. Let's work together to create a positive, fulfilling birth experience tailored to your individual needs.

I have been attending births since 1996, first as a doula and childbirth educator and since 2008 as a licensed midwife in NJ and 2010 in NY. I have been in private practice and partnerships with wonderful midwives and have mentored many students through the process of becoming a midwife in the apprenticeship model. I believe birth is sacred, and that the sovereignty of the birthing person must be kept in mind throughout pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period. Keeping reproductive justice at the forefront of the work midwives do is critical to reducing maternal and infant mortality in the United States. I believe that midwives have a responsibility to that work and are the answer to the maternal mortality crisis we are facing. I have had multiple leadership roles at both state and national levels and continues to volunteer helping to move midwifery forward in both NJ and NY with the goal of recreating systems so that birthing people can have access to the equitable and culturally congruent care they deserve. I am the mother to five amazing adult children and Grammy to four precious grandchildren. The birth of a child is an amazing mixture of physical happenings, emotional ups and downs and spiritual and personal growth. It brings with it the realization that we are powerful and powerless at the same time; that we can be in control while surrendering; and that nothing else at that moment, hour, day or even days matters, only the intensity of the work we have to do to bring this precious life from us, to us. It is a true blessing and an honor to be present, and I feel privileged to be a part of the journey.
