Childbirth Education

The myths and falsehoods about birth are many so I am driven to demystify fear and replace with awe , excitement, and confidence about your body, baby, and labor. I use evidence-based information that will equip expecting parents for the home or hospital setting.

The sessions are rich with hands-on tools, resources, and YES even fun for families to make the best-informed decisions for their growing family. Depending on your preference classes are offered via zoom, conveniently in your home, my home or a park.

Wondering how you and your partner will “endure” the Marathon of labor as media and television have unfortunately  painted the picture that pregnancy is 9 months of just getting through it and is plagued with nausea immense pain, and chaos.

I will walk intentionally with you and your partner providing emotional , physical and educational support. I have a high value for the partners role and ensure a unified dynamic helping parents achieve a peaceful, and memorable birth experience.

Lactation Counselor

So the marathon of labor is over but do you find yourself now facing what feels like a new giant …breastfeeding? Are you bombarded with opinions, blogs, and books to listen to? You can take a deep breath as the worldwide and accredited  Le Leche League says it best “Breastfeeding is an instinctual and natural act, but it is also an art that is learned day by day. The reality is that almost all women can breastfeed, have enough milk for their babies and learn how to overcome problems both large and small. "

As a training lactation counselor, I consider myself a friend and support system to assist mothers in preventing and solving breastfeeding issues such as feeding difficulties, sore nipples, poor latch, failure to thrive, breast engorgement, and low milk supply. 

With all that I understand that not every mother can or wants to breastfeed her child - that's okay, too! Regardless of how you choose to feed and bond with your child should be respected. Wherever you find yourself, be it needing to pump, bottle feed, supplement breastfeeding with formula, or exclusively formula feed, I would love to help you find your path.
