My passion for supporting families with a focus on helping them through their perinatal experience began with my own experience with my first born. It was physically and emotionally traumatic, with a difficult pregnancy, unplanned cesarean, and a slow recovery made more difficult with PPA and PPD. I became a DONA-Trained birth doula, and went on to become certified with the VBACLink.

 

With my second child I sought out more support, the overall experience was much more enjoyable, and I was shocked that I did not get PPD. This child was born with a severe tongue tie, so I love sharing the journey of my first-hand experience with Brandi's lactation expertise and the importance of body work.

 

After this second birth, my passion for how I support families shifted, and I found that I truly love supporting families as they navigate the newborn phase. ​​When I support families as a postpartum doula, you can rest with your baby or shower, I can prepare a meal for your family after doing laundry or tidy up your home. You can prepare a list of questions or vent as I lend a listening ear.

I specialize in cloth diapering and Elimination Communication, teaching you about your pump, and supporting cesarean recovery.
