Lactation Support
I love helping families have the right tools and support prenatally to successfully breastfeed their newborn. If you choose to nurse or pump, support is always essential in helping navigate the tricky journey to mastering how you choose to nourish your baby! I've gotten personal experience as a nursing mother of two, tandem nursing and pumping to establish a healthy supply. With the tools Ive learned along the way during my struggles, I am here to help you navigate your lactation journey!

Doulas are professionals that are trained in nonclinical, physical, emotional and informational support. Doulas main objectives are to ensure their clients concerns, needs, and wants are addressed an respected. Doula's are not midwives, they are not nurses but help birthing families become educated and empowered on informed decisions that best suit their families needs.
