Labor and Birth

Whether at home, hospital, or birth center, having a doula on your care team adds compassionate, undivided support to your birth experience. I love empowering families to make the choices that feel right for them — because every birth deserves to be written with autonomy and informed decision making.

Infant Feeding

My role as an IBCLC is to provide you and your baby with clinical support through evidence-based education and real world guidance and understanding. During in-home lactation visits, we’ll address concerns like pain with nursing, infant oral restrictions and body tension, pumping plans, or infant weight gain, always prioritizing your and your baby’s well-being.

Postpartum

The early weeks with a new baby require tangible support and trusted guidance. I provide daytime or overnight care tailored to your family’s needs, including newborn feeding support, infant care education, light household tasks, and nonjudgmental troubleshooting for the physical and logistical transitions of postpartum life.

FAQs

  • An International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) is a healthcare professional with specialized clinical training in infant feeding and lactation. We're the gold-standard credential for feeding support - a lactation expert on your personal care team who provides evidence-based solutions tailored to your family's needs.

  • Doulas provide continuous physical, emotional, and informational support during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Think of me as your personal guide, helping you navigate the decisions that feel tricky, offering comfort techniques during pregnancy and labor, and carrying that support into the early postpartum days, connecting you to community resources to ensure a smooth transition at every juncture.

  • The sooner, the better! Painful latches, low milk supply, or just wanting your feeding plan reviewed are all great reasons. I help with issues like tongue ties, pumping strategies, bottle refusal, and more.

  • Not at all! Doulas work with your partner and care team. We help partners participate confidently and provide evidence-based resources so you can make informed choices alongside your doctor or midwife.
