What is a Postpartum Lactation Specialist
A postpartum & lactation specialist exists to serve you during your transition after birth, from those early days of caring for & feeding a newborn to the end of the fourth trimester, & beyond. The role of a postpartum doula is to assist you however you need most - whether it be providing space & care needed to help you heal & bond with your new baby, tending to baby, or helping carry some of the load around the house.

Who Needs Postpartum Care
All mothers could benefit from more focused care during the postpartum period, whether it’s their first or their seventh baby. Giving birth to a new life is wonderful & life-changing, bringing with it new responsibilities and challenges. Having increased support during this time to help meet physical & emotional needs sets the mother & her family up for long-term success earlier on!

What Makes Me Different from Other Postpartum Doulas
As a holistic postpartum doula & lactation consultant, my goal is not only to see your immediate needs met, but to set you up for long-term thriving, physically, mentally & spiritually. I believe the key to serving you well is by infusing my work with “tender love, mercies, compassion” through the Holy Spirit. I also bring a wide range of personal experience with me from my own four unique & beautiful births, postpartum & breastfeeding seasons. It would be an honor to serve you during those tender first three months with your newborn.
