I’ve
always loved babies and children.
Becoming a mother myself changed EVERYTHING. I never anticipated how exhausting it would be! I thought everyone had to struggle in the
beginning. Later, I discovered an
alternative: A Postpartum Doula!
Since
then, I have completed two Postpartum Doula trainings, and am a
Certified Postpartum Doula with CAPPA (Childbirth And Postpartum Professional Association).
I also completed Certification as a
Breastfeeding Peer Counselor through the Visiting Nurse
Association, and was a member of their Breastfeeding Staff for more than a year. I am also Certified in Infant/Child CPR.
Two years ago, we
welcomed our second child. In the first
few weeks, I thought how fortunate we were that our daughter was adjusting so
well. I was surprised to see it all
fall apart in the second month! It took
some time, and a great deal of individual attention and reassurance, but she’s
now adjusted to her new role. For me,
it was a reminder that Postpartum is really several months—not weeks!
Each
family is
unique and I support their priorities and decisions without judgment. I’ve learned something from each family I’ve worked with. It’s an honor to be part of such a special
time. I love being able to alleviate
stresses and help parents make the most of their baby’s first days and weeks.
I
am fully insured and can provide references.
I am happy to answer any
additional questions you may have about me or
my background, so please feel
free
to contact me!
