My desire to educate women about their birth and feeding choices came from my university studies and my four beautiful births. I have been working with mothers and babies for nearly 20 years. I love the experience of every birth I have attended, and every breastfeeding journey I have been blessed to be a part of. I believe that pregnancy, birth, and breastfeeding are normal life processes.
Every woman has the right to choose where, how, and with whom her birth experience will take place. After this beautiful process, time at the breast is the final stage of labor. I hope through my knowledge and experience I can help each family find joy and happiness on their journey through pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Our Mission
For many years I have been studying, reading, practicing, and learning about childbirth and lactation. Let me share my knowledge with you. Let me empower you through this beautiful journey.
Can you imagine feeling a complete confidence in your body and mind as you embark on this new phase in your family? It is my favorite time in life. I miss the feelings of a baby moving within me. I miss the cuddling and closeness of a baby at my breast. I hope to educate and support you through this wonderful, sometimes nerve provoking time.
Life is full of confusing and overwhelming information. Did you know during pregnancy and lactation our brain matter actually changes. We think and feel differently. We become a new part of ourselves. Hopefully, I can help you gently and comfortably ease into this exciting new way of living. Let’s get rid of the guilt, and fear of not doing things just right. Let us find a rythme that makes you happy and confident as you move forward with each new milestone.
