As a Doula and Breastfeeding Specialist, I offer comprehensive support to the mother, baby, and the entire family during this delicate transition. By utilizing evidence-based information, best practices in newborn care, holistic healing methods, and providing both physical and emotional support, my aim is to help your family fully embrace and benefit from this special time. It's a privilege to support families during such a significant and beautiful period, recognizing it’s a time of immense joy and excitement, as well as unique challenges.

My extensive experience as a nanny, where I joyfully worked with children from infancy through age ten and their families, provided me with invaluable insights. I especially enjoyed supporting mothers as they returned to work after maternity leave, understanding the importance of providing peace of mind through expert infant care. This passion for assisting new families naturally led me to become a doula.

My formal education includes certifications as a Birth and Postpartum Doula through CAPPA (Childbirth and Postpartum Professional Association), and as a Certified Breastfeeding Specialist.

My areas of expertise include physical and emotional support, newborn care, lactation support, nutrition guidance, and the application of holistic healing techniques. Additionally, as a certified yoga instructor, I can integrate beneficial stretches, meditation practices, and breathing techniques to enhance labor comfort, promote postpartum healing, and support a smooth transition into this wonderful new chapter.
